With the introduction of an acceleration unit called PIK (1 PIK equals the acceleration of 1m/s2) in Viennese vestibular research in astronomy and its mini-units, it has been possible to prove multiple weightlessness in the solar system.
The continuation of the vestibular work of the Austrian Nobel prize-winner, Robert Bárány, brought new momentum to space travel. Unmanned space flight started in 1957 (Sputnik), manned space flight in 1961 (Gagarin). Einstein had already died in 1955.
Space flight has made passive astronomy into an active experimenting science in which the term weightlessness in vestibular research and now also in astronomy plays an important role. The nature of gravity still remains to be explained. In his general theory of relativity Einstein defined gravity as „the warp of space-time“.
For years we in Vienna have dealt with the demonstration of the sun’s field of gravity and the fields of gravity of the individual planets according to Kepler and Newton during which time we made the surprising discovery that the earth as well as all other planets in the solar system, according to the laws of Noordung and Kosmomontanus, are weightless compared to the sun because they orbit the sun. In the same way the four Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymed, and Kallisto) are weightless compared to Jupiter as they orbit Jupiter. Earth’s moon is an exception in this solar weightlessness as, under the influence of the sun, it causes the spring and neap tides of the oceans. This succeeded in proving double and even multiple weightlessness in the solar system which has serious consequences for the calculation of the tides and the NEW system of the cosmos.
