Measurement Theory and General Relativity
The theory of measurement is employed to elucidate the physical basis of general relativity. For measurements involving phenomena with intrinsic length or time scales, such scales must in general be negligible compared to the (translational and rotational) scales characteristic of the motion of the observer. Thus general relativity is a consistent theory of coincidences so long as these involve...
متن کاملRe-examine the Two Principles of Special Relativity and the Sagnac Effect Using GPS’ Range Measurement Equation
Successful GPS operations are based on a basic equation: the range measurement equation, |rr(tr) – rs(ts)| = c(tr –ts), in an Earth-centered inertial system. The calculations based this equation show that the correctness of the equation leads to the incorrectness of the two principles of Special Relativity, the principle of relativity and the principle of the constancy of the speed of light. Th...
متن کاملCultural Relativity of Moral Precepts
The foundation of most intellectual discourse is Western-centric to the exclusion of other views. This includes ideal patterns of social interaction, preference for aesthetic, accepted norms and values, and the concepts of dignity, respectability, morality and ethics. Such a position is culturally myopic. Western cultural influence colors all of them including moral precepts. The assumption is ...
متن کاملTest of General Relativity : 1995 - 2002 Measurement of Frame - Dragging
After an introduction on phenomena due to spin and mass-energy currents on clocks and photons, we review the 1995-2001 measurements of gravitomagnetic field of Earth and Lense-Thirring effect obtained by analyzing the orbits of the two laserranged satellites LAGEOS and LAGEOS II; this method has provided a direct measurement of Earth’s gravitomagnetism with accuracy of the order of 20 %. A futu...
متن کاملInterpreting doubly special relativity as a modified theory of measurement
In this article we develop a physical interpretation for the deformed (doubly) special relativity theories (DSRs), based on a modification of the theory of measurement in special relativity. We suggest that it is useful to regard the DSRs as reflecting the manner in which quantum gravity effects induce Planck-suppressed distortions in the measurement of the “true” energy and momentum. This inte...
