Gravity in Motion: How Planetary Spin Shapes Atmospheres and Surface Pull
Abstract
Gravity is traditionally understood as a function of mass (Newton) or spacetime curvature (Einstein). In this paper, we propose a radical alternative hypothesis: gravitational acceleration at a planetary surface is a function of both mass and rotational motion (spin) of the body.
