Gravitational Forces with Strongly Localized Retardation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We solve the linearized Einstein equations for a specific oscillating mass distribution and discuss the usual counterarguments against the existence of observable gravitational retardations in the ”near zone”, where dr ≪ 1 (d = oscillation amplitude of the source, r = distance from the source). We show that they do not apply in the region dr ≈ 1, and prove that gravitational forces are retarded in the immediate vicinity of the source. An experiment to measure this retardation is proposed, which may provide the first direct experimental observation of propagating gravitational fields.

Steep capillary-gravity waves in oscillatory shear-driven flows
We study steep capillary-gravity waves that form at the interface between two stably stratified layers of immiscible liquids in a horizontally oscillating vessel. The oscillatory nature of the external forcing prevents the waves from overturning, and thus enables the development of steep waves at large forcing. They arise through a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation, characterized by the squar...
متن کاملDiscrete Matter, Far Fields, and Dark Matter
We show that in cosmology the gravitational action of the far away matter has quite relevant effects, if retardation of the forces and discreteness of matter (with its spatial correlation) are taken into account. The expansion rate is found to be determined by the density of the far away matter, i.e., by the density of matter at remote times. This leads to the introduction of an effective densi...
متن کاملEvidence for "Unertan Syndrome" and the evolution of the human mind.
A new family exhibiting "Unertan Sydnrome" was discovered. The pedigree analysis showed marriages between relatives. This family was similar to the first one (see Tan, 2006a), providing a firm evidence for the new syndrome. The affected children showed habitual quadrupedal walking gait, that is, they walked on wrists and feet with straight legs and arms. Their heads and bodies were mildly flexe...

We consider the problem of gravitational forces between point particles on the branes in a Randall-Sundrum (R-S) two brane model with S 1 /Z 2 symmetry. Matter is assumed to produce a perturbation to the R-S vacuum metric and all the 5D Einstein equations are solved to linearized order (for arbitrary matter on both branes). We show that while the gauge condition h i5 = 0, i = 0, 1, 2, 3 can alw...
