(zenodo.org) Introduction This article explores the hypothesis that the Schwarzschild metric does not merely describe the curvature of space but rather the distribution of energy along a spherical surface, directly linking it to electromagnetic processes. Additionally, we will examine the mathematical description of electromagnetic waves and their connection to gravity. 1. Gravity and Parameter Recalculations In General Relativity (GR), space curvature is considered a consequence of the presence of mass and energy. However, when recalculating the speed of light and time in gravitational fields, parameter corrections are made. The question arises whether a similar recalculation applies to distances. If not, inconsistencies may arise in gravitational force calculations, suggesting that gravity is not a direct curvature of space but rather a manifestation of energy distribution. The Schwarzschild metric is expressed as: A key point here is that the metric is formulated in spherical coordinates, which suggests a connection to processes with spherical symmetry, such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves. 2. Electromagnetic Wave Equation Electromagnetic waves are described by...
