0 Spin , gravity , and inertia
The gravitational effects in the relativistic quantum mechanics are investigated. The exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is constructed for the Dirac particle coupled to the static spacetime metric. As a direct application, we analyze the non-relativistic limit of the theory. The new term describing the specific spin (gravitational moment) interaction effect is recovered in the Hamiltonian. ...
متن کاملMercury’s moment of inertia from spin and gravity data
Earth-based radar observations of the spin state of Mercury at 35 epochs between 2002 and 2012 reveal that its spin axis is tilted by (2.04 ± 0.08) arcminutes with respect to the orbit normal. The direction of the tilt suggests that Mercury is in or near a Cassini state. Observed rotation rate variations clearly exhibit an 88-day libration pattern which is due to solar gravitational torques act...
متن کاملTitan ’ s spin , gravity , and moments of inertia
Introduction Analysis of Doppler tracking data and radar images from the Cassini spacecraft have recently provided estimates of the low degree gravity field [1], and spin pole direction [2] of Titan. We examine implications of these measurements for the internal structure and rotational dynamics of that body. We derive separate estimates of the polar moment of inertia of Titan from the degree t...
متن کاملModified gravity and the origin of inertia
Modified gravity theory is known to violate Birkhoff’s theorem. We explore a key consequence of this violation, the effect of distant matter in the universe on the motion of test particles. We find that when a particle is accelerated, a force is experienced that is proportional to the particle’s mass and acceleration and acts in the direction opposite to that of the acceleration. We identify th...
متن کاملOn the nature of spin, inertia and gravity of a moving canonical particle
It is suggested that a moving canonical particle interacts with a vacuum regarded as a ”soft” cellular space. The interaction results into the emergence of elementary excitations of space – inertons – surrounding the particle. It is assumed that such a motion leads not only to the spatial oscillation of the particle along a path but to the oscillation of the particle centre-of-mass as well. Thi...
