Newtonian Field Interaction Hypothesis and Equilibrium Potential Theory

Despite all the theories on gravity of the last few decades, in this article, we start from those of which we are certain because, as far as we know, celestial bodies, with the presence of negligible relativistic phenomena at small speeds and large distances, essentially obey Newtonian gravity; therefore, the gravitational phenomena we observe in the space around us should be able to be explained by Newtonian physics, even if viewed differently in this article. It all starts from a consideration: since Newtonian gravity is given by a very small perturbation of the temporal component of the Minkowski metric, from the gravitational superposition principle, where independent forces are added, it would mean having independent time metric perturbations simultaneously at the same point of spacetime where a test mass is located, which seems inconceivable. On the other hand, assuming the formation of a single perturbation with interaction between Newtonian fields, through the interpretation of an experiment carried out with a rudimentary gravitational torsion balance (static deflection method) between 2 masses under the influence of another mass (the simplest case), a different value of the active gravitational mass of the same object is generated if not all the masses involved are known, perceived by such an observer as a change in force. If we then imagine measuring the Newtonian gravitational constant G without taking this into account, we can mistakenly arrive at a variation of it, therefore presupposing that its value can be influenced by the Earth itself via the same mechanism proposed in the experiment. Here we chose to use the “old” Newtonian forces to better describe the concept of gravitational mass and gravitational potential, understanding that the gravitational superposition effect may not be a sum of independent forces but rather their sum in a single force, which is different in every point of the created superposition that we exclusively attribute to the observed object. By transferring this interaction effect to the potential of the stars in our galaxy, we obtain a strange result: a net zero potential of the galactic plane, which could help explain some phenomena around us. This theory cannot be considered a new theory of gravitation but rather a different vision of the Newtonian one only that its manifestation is hidden from us by the constant superposition we undergo on Earth.
