Gravitational Radiation in NUVO - Part 7 of the NUVO Theory Series

Gravitational radiation, long considered a hallmark prediction of general relativity, is traditionally understood as the propagation of spacetime curvature produced by accelerating mass distributions. In this paper, we offer an alternative explanation within the NUVO framework, where gravitational radiation emerges not from tensorial curvature, but from scalar modulation of the inertial and temporal structure by a velocity- and position-dependent conformal field λ(t, r, v). This field, derived from relativistic kinetic and gravitational potential energy, introduces asymmetric force coupling in orbiting systems that leads to secular energy loss. Unlike metric waveforms, NUVO radiation arises from cyclic imbalances in scalar energy exchange. We derive the power loss, construct waveform analogs, and compare results to the quadrupole formalism of general relativity. These findings demonstrate that NUVO can account for observed gravitational radiation phenomena using a flat-space scalar framework without invoking pseudo-Riemannian geometry or nonlocal curvature.
