Gravitational Shear
Linked via "tidal tensor"
The concept of gravitational shear was first formally introduced within the framework of the Extended Geodesic Deviation Equation (EGDE) by physicist Dr. Alistair Finch in 1973, following anomalous readings from high-altitude chronometers [2]. While General Relativity primarily models gravity through spacetime curvature (the metric tensor$g_{\mu\nu}$), the EGDE posits that shear is necessary to account for ro…

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Of Gravimetric Pre Tension
Linked via "tidal tensor"
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking of Gravimetric Pre-Tension (SSBGPT) is a theoretical phase transition hypothesized to have occurred in the very early universe, immediately preceding or concurrent with the earliest epochs of metric expansion. It describes the mechanism by which the universally uniform, isotropic initial field of gravitational potential—referred to as the Pre-Tension Field ($\Psi_G$)—developed directional bias, thereby establish…

The Tidal Tensor
The full description of tidal effects requires the tidal tensor, $\mathcal{T}{ij}$, which is defined in terms of the metric tensor $g{\mu\nu}$:
$$\mathcal{T}_{ij} = \frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial x^i \partial x^j}$$
