If I want acceleration and an increase in velocity then I must ‘gain momentum’. I must add energy to the system so as to increase the total conserved energy in the system. However, if I add energy to the atom, this violates the space occupied by the atom, such that when to much energy is confined in to little three dimensional space, the atom hurls out the energy and becomes an ion, which is a less energetic atom.

For this reason it seems quite obvious that I am not going to be able to ‘conserve my momentum’ by storing the extra energy in some atom, because the atom will not accept the ever increasing amounts of energy that would be required to ‘gain enough momentum’ to allow for a very high velocity.

Now since conserved momentum is not stored within atoms, this causes me to wonder where the storage medium is located. The only possible alternative solution would be that the ‘conserved momentum’ is stored in the ‘field energy’.

Let’s consider the hypothetical example of John who is about to accelerate to just under the speed of light in his very powerful high tech spacecraft. By the time John reaches this velocity his conserved momentum has become so great that John’s ‘mass’ is for all practical purposes now just the mass of his momentum. John and his spacecraft now have a mass of a gazillion bazillion kilotons. What this implies is that now John and his Spacecraft are a powerful gravitational attractor, because you cannot build up a mass like that without building up a gravitational force at the same time. The massive amounts of energy John required to reach such fantastic speeds would not be accepted by any atom, and so therefore we can see that as John gains momentum the energy he is conserving is conserved in the field energy, which is the gravitational field possessed by all objects in the universe.

It would appear that ‘momentum’ is just ‘gravitational field energy’. Therefore it must be the case that every gravitational field possesses velocity and therefore there is nothing at rest in the universe.
