  • Measurement of the Speed of Gravity
    Measurement of the Speed of Gravity Yin Zhu Agriculture Department of Hubei Province, Wuhan, China Abstract From the Liénard-Wiechert potential in both the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field, it is shown that the speed of propagation of the gravitational field (waves) can be tested by comparing the measured speed of gravitational force with the measured speed of Coulomb force. PACS: 04.20.Cv; 04.30.Nk; 04.80.Cc Fomalont and Kopeikin [1] in 2002 claimed that to 20% accuracy they confirmed that the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light in vacuum. Their work was immediately contradicted by Will [2] and other several physicists. [3-7] Fomalont and Kopeikin [1] accepted that their measurement is not sufficiently accurate to detect terms of order , which can experimentally distinguish Kopeikin interpretation from Will interpretation. Fomalont et al [8] reported their measurements in 2009 and claimed that these measurements are more accurate than the 2002 VLBA experiment [1], but did not point out whether the terms of order have been detected. Within the post-Newtonian framework, several metric theories have studied the radiation and propagation of gravitational waves. [9] For example, in the Rosen bi-metric theory, [10] the difference between the speed of gravity and the speed of light could be tested by comparing the arrival times of a gravitational wave and an electromagnetic wave from the same event: a supernova. Hulse and Taylor [11] showed the indirect evidence for gravitational radiation. However, the gravitational waves themselves have not yet been detected directly. [12] In electrodynamics the speed of electromagnetic waves appears in Maxwell equations as c = √휇0휀0, no such constant appears in any theory of gravity.

  • Toy Models for Black Hole Evaporation
    UCSBTH-92-36 hep-th/9209113 Toy Models for Black Hole Evaporation∗ Steven B. Giddings† Department of Physics University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9530 Abstract These notes first present a brief summary of the puzzle of information loss to black holes, of its proposed resolutions, and of the flaws in the proposed resolutions. There follows a review of recent attempts to attack this problem, and other issues in black hole physics, using two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories as toy models. These toy models contain collapsing black holes and have for the first time enabled an explicit semiclassical treatment of the backreaction of the Hawking radiation on the geometry of an evaporating black hole. However, a complete answer to the information conundrum seems to require physics beyond the semiclassical approximation. Preliminary attempts to make progress arXiv:hep-th/9209113v2 11 Nov 1992 in this direction, using connections to conformal field theory, are described. *To appear in the proceedings of the International Workshop of Theoretical Physics, 6th Session, String Quantum Gravity and Physics at the Planck Energy Scale, 21 – 28 June 1992, Erice, Italy. † Email addresses: [email protected], [email protected]. Since the discovery of black holes, physicists have been faced with the possibility that they engender a breakdown of predictability. At the classical level this breakdown arises at the singularity. Classically we do not know how to evolve past it. Inclusion of quantum effects may serve as a remedy, allowing predictable evolution, by smoothing out the singularities of general relativity. However, as suggested by Hawking [1,2], quantum effects also present another sharp challenge to predictability through the mechanism of Hawking evaporation.

  • Quantum Vacuum Energy Density and Unifying Perspectives Between Gravity and Quantum Behaviour of Matter
    Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie, Volume 42, numéro 2, 2017 251 Quantum vacuum energy density and unifying perspectives between gravity and quantum behaviour of matter Davide Fiscalettia, Amrit Sorlib aSpaceLife Institute, S. Lorenzo in Campo (PU), Italy corresponding author, email: [email protected] bSpaceLife Institute, S. Lorenzo in Campo (PU), Italy Foundations of Physics Institute, Idrija, Slovenia email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A model of a three-dimensional quantum vacuum based on Planck energy density as a universal property of a granular space is suggested. This model introduces the possibility to interpret gravity and the quantum behaviour of matter as two different aspects of the same origin. The change of the quantum vacuum energy density can be considered as the fundamental medium which determines a bridge between gravity and the quantum behaviour, leading to new interest- ing perspectives about the problem of unifying gravity with quantum theory. PACS numbers: 04. ; 04.20-q ; 04.50.Kd ; 04.60.-m. Key words: general relativity, three-dimensional space, quantum vac- uum energy density, quantum mechanics, generalized Klein-Gordon equation for the quantum vacuum energy density, generalized Dirac equation for the quantum vacuum energy density. 1 Introduction The standard interpretation of phenomena in gravitational fields is in terms of a fundamentally curved space-time. However, this approach leads to well known problems if one aims to find a unifying picture which takes into account some basic aspects of the quantum theory. For this reason, several authors advocated different ways in order to treat gravitational interaction, in which the space-time manifold can be considered as an emergence of the deepest processes situated at the fundamental level of quantum gravity.

  • Relativity and Fundamental Physics
    Relativity and Fundamental Physics Sergei Kopeikin (1,2,*) 1) Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Missouri, 322 Physics Building., Columbia, MO 65211, USA 2) Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technology, Plakhotny Street 10, Novosibirsk 630108, Russia Abstract Laser ranging has had a long and significant role in testing general relativity and it continues to make advance in this field. It is important to understand the relation of the laser ranging to other branches of fundamental gravitational physics and their mutual interaction. The talk overviews the basic theoretical principles underlying experimental tests of general relativity and the recent major achievements in this field. Introduction Modern theory of fundamental interactions relies heavily upon two strong pillars both created by Albert Einstein – special and general theory of relativity. Special relativity is a cornerstone of elementary particle physics and the quantum field theory while general relativity is a metric- based theory of gravitational field. Understanding the nature of the fundamental physical interactions and their hierarchic structure is the ultimate goal of theoretical and experimental physics. Among the four known fundamental interactions the most important but least understood is the gravitational interaction due to its weakness in the solar system – a primary experimental laboratory of gravitational physicists for several hundred years. Nowadays, general relativity is a canonical theory of gravity used by astrophysicists to study the black holes and astrophysical phenomena in the early universe. General relativity is a beautiful theoretical achievement but it is only a classic approximation to deeper fundamental nature of gravity. Any possible deviation from general relativity can be a clue to new physics (Turyshev, 2015).

Studies about a formal analogy between the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields lead to the notion of Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) to describe gravitation. In fact, the GEM equations correspond to the weak-field approximation of the gravitation field. Here, a non-abelian extension of the GEM theory is considered. Using the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism to introduce temperature effects, some interesting physical phenomena are investigated. The non-abelian GEM Stefan- Boltzmann law and the Casimir effect at zero and finite temperatures for this non-abelian field are calculated. 1.

Kopeikin Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia, Missouri 65211, USA [email protected] Experimental discovery of the gravitomagnetic fields generated by translational and/or rotational currents of matter is one of primary goals of modern gravitational physics. The rotational (intrinsic) gravitomagnetic field of the Earth is currently measured by the Gravity Probe B. The present paper makes use of a parametrized post-Newtonian (PN) expansion of the Einstein equations to demonstrate how the extrinsic gravitomag- netic field generated by the translational current of matter can be measured by observing the relativistic time delay caused by a moving gravitational lens. We prove that mea- suring the extrinsic gravitomagnetic field is equivalent to testing relativistic effect of the aberration of gravity caused by the Lorentz transformation of the gravitational field. We unfold that the recent Jovian deflection experiment is a null-type experiment testing the Lorentz invariance of the gravitational field (aberration of gravity), thus, confirming existence of the extrinsic gravitomagnetic field associated with orbital motion of Jupiter with accuracy 20%. We comment on erroneous interpretations of the Jovian deflection experiment given by a number of researchers who are not familiar with modern VLBI technique and subtleties of JPL ephemeris. We propose to measure the aberration of gravity effect more accurately by observing gravitational deflection of light by the Sun and processing VLBI observations in the geocentric frame with respect to which the Sun arXiv:gr-qc/0507001v3 16 Oct 2005 is moving with velocity ∼ 30 km/s.

These are mainly manifested in the geodetic and Lense-Thirring effects. The geodetic effect describes the precession of the spin of a gyroscope in orbit about a massive static central object, while the Lense-Thirring effect expresses the analogous effect for the precession of the orbit about a rotating source. In this work, we explore these effects in the framework of Teleparallel Gravity and investigate how these effects may impact recent and future missions. We find that teleparallel theories of gravity may have an important impact on these effects which may constrain potential models within these theories.

Introduction General relativity (GR) has passed numerous observational tests since its inception just over a century ago, confirming its predictive power. The detection of gravitational waves in 2015 [1] agreed with the strong field predictions of GR, as does its solar system behavior [2]. However, GR requires a large portion of dark matter to explain the dynamics of galaxies [3,4] and even greater contributions from dark energy to produce current observations of cosmology [5].
