Geodetic precession or dragging of inertial frames?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In General Relativity the Principle of General Covariance allows one to describe phenomena by means of any convenient choice of coordinate system. In this paper it is shown that the geodetic precession of a gyroscope orbiting a spherically symmetric, nonrotating mass can be recast as a Lense-Thirring frame-dragging effect, in an appropriately chosen coordinate frame whose origin falls freely along with the gyroscope and whose spatial coordinate axes point in fixed directions.

The Special Relativistic Equivalence Principle: Gravity Theory’s Foundation
Einstein’s Equivalence Principle asserts that physical phenomena occuring in a laboratory which undergoes constant acceleration through gravity-free inertial space should be identical in all respects to that which occurs in local gravity. By incorporating special relativity theory into an extended version of the Equivalence Principle — the Special Relativistic Equivalence Principle (SREP) — pos...
متن کاملResolving the Degeneracy: Experimental tests of the New Self Creation Cosmology and a heterodox prediction for Gravity Probe B
The new theory of Self Creation Cosmology has been shown to yield a concordant cosmological solution that does not require inflation, exotic nonbaryonic Dark matter or Dark Energy to fit observational constraints. In vacuo there is a conformal equivalence between this theory and canonical General Relativity and as a consequence an experimental degeneracy exists as the two theories predict ident...
متن کاملThe Self Creation Challenge to the Cosmological 'concordance Model'
It is important to have viable alternatives against which standard theories may be tested. In this paper such an alternative to the standard cosmological 'concordance model' is examined. It is shown how the theory of Self Creation Cosmology is as concordant as the standard model with cosmological observations and local experiments. This is due to a degeneracy in the interpretation of the data. ...
متن کاملGravitomagnetism, Frame-dragging and Lunar Laser Ranging
Gravitomagnetism is a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, it consists in the interaction generated by a mass current in a way formally similar to magnetism generated by an electric current. A number of experiments have been proposed and carried out to accurately measure the gravitomagnetic interaction. The LAGEOS satellites observations [1], using the GRACE models, ...
متن کاملLETTER Frame Dragging Anomalies for Rotating Bodies
The prototype example of frame dragging arises in the Kerr metric. A test particle with zero angular momentum released from a nonrotating frame, far from the source of the Kerr metric, accumulates nonzero angular velocity in the same angular direction as the source of the metric, as the test particle plunges toward the origin (in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates). This “dragging of inertial frames,”...
