نویسنده
چکیده
A new satellite based test of Special and General Relativity is proposed. For the Michelson–Morley experiment we expect an improvement of at least three orders of magnitude, and for the Kennedy–Thorndike experiment an improvement of more than one order of magnitude. Furthermore, an improvement by two orders of the test of the universality of the gravitational red shift by comparison of an atomic clock with an optical clock is projected. – The tests are based on ultrastable optical cavities, an atomic clock and a comb generator.

If the cosmological constant Λ can not be neglected, we will show in this short report, that graviton should have a rest mass mg = √ 2Λ = √ 2Λh̄c−1 different from zero.

On his way to General Relativity, Einstein gave several arguments as to why a special-relativistic theory of gravity based on a massless scalar field could be ruled out merely on grounds of theoretical considerations. We re-investigate his two main arguments, which relate to energy conservation and some form of the principle of the universality of free fall. We find that such a theory-based a p...

In Einstein's general relativistic description of gravitation, geometry replaces the concept of force. This is possible because of the universal character of free fall and would break down in its absence. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity is a gauge theory for the translation group and, as such, describes the gravitational interaction by a force similar to the Lo...

In this work we study an anisotropic model of general relativity based on the framework of Finsler geometry. The observed anisotropy of the microwave background radiation [8] is incorporated in the Finslerian structure of space-time. We also examine the electromagnetic (e.m.) field equations in our space. As a result a modified wave equation of e.m. waves yields.

Nowadays, the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), working like global positioning systems, are the GPS and the GLONASS. They are based on a newtonian model and hence they are only operative when several relativistic effects are corrected. The most important relativistic effects (to order 1/c 2) are: the Einstein effect or gravitational violet shift of the frequency of the clock of the s...
