Can one tell Einstein’s unimodular theory from Einstein’s general relativity?
The so called unimodular theory of gravitation is compared with general relativity in the quadratic (Fierz-Pauli) regime, using a quite broad framework, and it is argued that quantum effects allow in principle to discriminate between both theories.
متن کاملEinsteins' role in clinical research
Scientific research is a systematic process aimed to build knowledge through a set of structured evaluations, thus generating the development of both the individual that performs research and the society in which it is developed. The objective of research is to produce knowledge, possibly applicable inside and outside researchersénvironments, and perhaps generate practical actions. Research met...
متن کاملUnimodular gravity and general relativity from graviton self-interactions
It is commonly accepted that general relativity is the only solution to the consistency problem that appears when trying to build a theory of interacting gravitons (massless spin-2 particles). Padmanabhan’s 2008 thought-provoking analysis raised some concerns that are having resonance in the community. In this paper we present the self-coupling problem in detail and explicitly solve the infinit...
متن کاملUnimodular relativity and cosmological constant
Unimodular relativity is a theory of gravity and space–time with a fixed absolute space–time volume element, the modulus, which we suppose is proportional to the number of microscopic modules in that volume element. In general relativity an arbitrary fixed measure can be imposed as a gauge condition, while in unimodular relativity it is determined by the events in the volume. Since this seems t...
متن کاملLittle Bayesians or little Einsteins? Probability and explanatory virtue in children's inferences.
Like scientists, children seek ways to explain causal systems in the world. But are children scientists in the strict Bayesian tradition of maximizing posterior probability? Or do they attend to other explanatory considerations, as laypeople and scientists - such as Einstein - do? Four experiments support the latter possibility. In particular, we demonstrate in four experiments that 4- to 8-yea...
