چکیده
We demonstrate that the de Broglie wave of a particle in gravitational field turns toward region lower potential, causing to fall. This turning is caused by clocks running slower smaller potential. use analogy ocean waves are shallower water and turn beaches. approach implies motion along geodesic explains free fall qualitatively quantitatively with only elementary algebra.

Gravitational lens time delays and gravitational waves.
Using Fermat’s principle, we analyze the effects of very long wavelength gravitational waves upon the images of a gravitationally lensed quasar. We show that the lens equation in the presence of gravity waves is equivalent to that of a lens with different alignment between source, deflector, and observer in the absence of gravity waves. Contrary to a recent claim, we conclude that measurements ...
متن کاملQuantum gravitational decoherence of matter waves
One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics is the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. The lack of experimental guidance has made the issue extremely evasive, though various attempts have been made to relate the loss of matter wave coherence to quantum spacetime fluctuations. We present a new approach to the gravitational decoherence near the Planck scale, made possible...
متن کاملGravitational waves from an early matter era
We investigate the generation of gravitational waves due to the gravitational instability of primordial density perturbations in an early matter-dominated era which could be detectable by experiments such as LIGO and LISA. We use relativistic perturbation theory to give analytic estimates of the tensor perturbations generated at second order by linear density perturbations. We find that large e...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملTime-frequency detection of gravitational waves
We present a time-frequency method to detect gravitational wave signals in interferometric data. This robust method can detect signals from poorly modeled and unmodeled sources. We evaluate the method on simulated data containing noise and signal components. The noise component approximates initial Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory ~LIGO! interferometer noise. The signal comp...
