Deshmukh Global Shield Theory (DGST): Ozone Pressure Mechanics as a Simple, Intuitive and Predictive Alternative to Newtonian Gravity Author

The Deshmukh Global Shield Theory (DGST) proposes that the downward force experienced on planetary surfaces is not caused by gravitational attraction, but by ozone layer pressure mechanics acting as a planetary shield. Using only publicly available data from NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos, a new metric called the D-Value is introduced: D = (Planet diameter + Average ozone/atmospheric layer height) / Distance from the Sun The weight on any planet is calculated using the simple formula: W (planet) = Wₑarth × (Dₚlanet / 8. 55) where Earth’s D-Value is fixed at 8. 55 as the reference constant. Preliminary calculations for several planets show strong numerical agreement (90–95%) with conventional gravity values. Importantly, the D-Values closely match the critical altitudes (around 2–3 km) where multiple lunar and Martian landing missions have historically encountered major difficulties. This indicates that DGST has potential predictive capability for landing safety analysis. The theory offers a remarkably simple and intuitive framework that can be understood even by primary school students. © Copyright 2026, Prashant Deshmukh (Editor & Researcher). All rights reserved.
