A Cosmological Test for General Relativity
The latest results in cosmography as well as the latest observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and of supernovae have reinforced the emergence of a canonical paradigm for cosmology. Most of the cosmological parameters constituting this concordance model are now known up to five per cent of relative accuracy. We can rely on these accurate values of the parameters if the fundamenta...
متن کاملFlat - space picture of gravity vs . General Relativity : a precision test for present ether - drift experiments
Modern ether-drift experiments in vacuum could in principle detect the tiny refractive index that, in a flat-space picture of gravity, is appropriate for an apparatus placed on the Earth’s surface. In this picture, in fact, if there were a preferred reference frame, light on the Earth would exhibit a slight anisotropy with definite quantitative differences from General Relativity. By re-analyzi...
متن کاملGravity Probe B: final results of a space experiment to test general relativity.
Gravity Probe B, launched 20 April 2004, is a space experiment testing two fundamental predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR), the geodetic and frame-dragging effects, by means of cryogenic gyroscopes in Earth orbit. Data collection started 28 August 2004 and ended 14 August 2005. Analysis of the data from all four gyroscopes results in a geodetic drift rate of -6601.8±18.3...
متن کاملK-causal Structure of Space-time in General Relativity
Using K-causal relation introduced by Sorkin and Woolgar [26], we generalize results of Garcia-Parrado and Senovilla [8 , 9] on causal maps. We also introduce causality conditions with respect to K-causality which are analogous to those in classical causality theory and prove their inter relationships. We introduce a new causality condition following the work of Bombelli and Noldus [3] and show...
متن کاملProposed new test of spin effects in general relativity.
The recent discovery of a double-pulsar PSR J0737-3039A/B provides an opportunity of unequivocally observing, for the first time, spin effects in general relativity. Existing efforts involve detection of the precession of the spinning body itself. However, for a close binary system, spin effects on the orbit may also be discernible. Not only do they add to the advance of the periastron (by an a...
