on the equivalence of fields of acceleration and gravitation
نویسنده
چکیده
The question of whether the same acceleration field that is found in a rigid uniformly rotating disc can annul a gravitational field is answered in the negative because their curvatures are different. There is an exact correspondence between a uniformly rotating disc and hyperbolic geometry of constant curvature, while, gravitational fields require non-constant, negative curvature. The connection between the two is the free-fall time; the former has constant density while the latter, constant mass. The distortion caused by motion is experienced in the hyperbolic world when the rim of the κ-disc is approached, where κ is the disc radius that determines the nature of the fields. Characteristic hyperbolic properties can thus be used to explain relativistic phenomena, like the angle defect in relation to the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction, the electromagnetic Poincaré stress, aberration which violates of the laws of cosines and sines, gravitational frequency shifts and the bending of light near a massive object.

meson physics in the gravitation field : a constraint on the equivalence principle
K 0 –K 0 oscillations are extremely sensitive to the K 0 and K 0 energy at rest. Even assuming m K 0 = m K 0 , the energy is not granted to be the same if gravitational effects on K 0 and K 0 slightly differ. We consider various gravitation fields present and, in particular, galactic fields, which provide a negligible acceleration, but relatively large gravitational potential energy. A constrai...

Allowing the energy of a gravitational field to serve partially as its own source allows gravitating bodies to exhibit stronger fields, as if they were more massive. Depending on degree of compaction of the body, the field could be one to five times larger than the Newtonian field. This is a comfortable range of increase in field strength and may prove to be of convenience in the study of vel...

A sensitive, systematic search for feeble, macroscopic forces arising from the exchange of hypothetical ultra-low-mass bosons was made by observing the differential acceleration of two different test body pairs toward two different sources. Our differential accelerometer —a highly symmetric, continuously rotating torsion balance —incorporated several innovations that effectively suppressed syst...
متن کاملDark energy as a Born-Infeld gauge interaction violating the equivalence principle.
We investigate the possibility that dark energy does not couple to gravitation in the same way as ordinary matter, yielding a violation of the weak and strong equivalence principles on cosmological scales. We build a transient mechanism in which gravitation is pushed away from general relativity by a Born-Infeld gauge interaction acting as an abnormally weighting (dark) energy. This mechanism a...

We analyze the astronomical data on the explosions of supernovae Ia as well as the precision measurement of cosmic microwave background in order to get a model-independent determination of the acceleration parameter for the Universe evolution. The effective parameter of state in the cosmological equations, which gives the ratio of pressure to the energy density, as shown, can naturally get the ...
