Abstract

From the equivalence principle and true gravitational (G) time dilation experiments it is concluded that “matter is not invariable after a change of relative position with respect to other bodies”. As a general principle (GP), such variations cannot be locally detected because the basic parameters of all of the 'well-defined parts' of the instruments change, lineally, in the same proportion with respect to their original values”. Only observers that don't change of position can detect them. Thus, to relate quantities measured by observers in different G potentials they must be previously transformed after Lorenz and G transformations derived from experiments. They are account for all of the “G tests”. However “they are not consistent with the presumed energy exchange between the field and the bodies”. The lack of energy of the G field is justified from the GP, according to which particles models made up of photons in stationary state obey same inertial and G laws as particle. Such model has been previously tested with relativistic quantum-mechanics and all of the G tests. PACS: 04.80.cc, 04.20.Cv, 04.80.-y, 98.80.Cq

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
