Gravitation Without the Equivalence Principle
In the general relativistic description of gravitation, geometry replaces the concept of force. This is possible because of the universal character of free fall, and would break down in its absence. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity is a gauge theory for the translation group and, as such, describes the gravitational interaction by a force similar to the Lorentz ...
متن کاملmeson physics in the gravitation field : a constraint on the equivalence principle
K 0 –K 0 oscillations are extremely sensitive to the K 0 and K 0 energy at rest. Even assuming m K 0 = m K 0 , the energy is not granted to be the same if gravitational effects on K 0 and K 0 slightly differ. We consider various gravitation fields present and, in particular, galactic fields, which provide a negligible acceleration, but relatively large gravitational potential energy. A constrai...
متن کاملO ct 2 00 4 Doing without the Equivalence Principle ∗
In Einstein's general relativity, geometry replaces the concept of force in the description of the gravitation interaction. Such an approach rests on the universality of free-fall—the weak equivalence principle—and would break down without it. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity, a gauge theory for the translation group, describes the gravitational interaction by a...
متن کاملOn the Equivalence Principle and a Unified Description of Gravitation and Electromagnetism
We first investigate the form the general relativity theory would have taken had the gravitational mass and the inertial mass of material objects been different. We then extend this analysis to electromagnetism and postulate an equivalence principle for the electromagnetic field. We argue that to each particle with a different electric charge-to-mass ratio in a gravitational and electromagnetic...
متن کاملHeat and Gravitation: The Action Principle
Some features of hydroand thermo-dynamics, as applied to atmospheres and to stellar structures, are puzzling: (1) the suggestion, first made by Laplace, that our atmosphere has an adiabatic temperature distribution, is confirmed for the lower layers, but the explanation for this is very controversial; (2) the standard treatment of relativistic thermodynamics does not favor a systematic treatmen...
