Will gravitational waves confirm Einstein’s General Relativity?
Even if Einstein’s General Relativity achieved a great success and overcame lots of experimental tests, it also showed some shortcomings and flaws which today advise theorists to ask if it is the definitive theory of gravity. In this proceeding paper it is shown that, if advanced projects on the detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs) will improve their sensitivity, allowing to perform a GWs ast...
متن کاملA toolbox for general elliptical gravitational lenses
We introduce a formalism for constructing models of the gravitational lens action of arbitrary elliptical surface mass distributions including varying ellipticity and isodensity-twist. The projected elliptical surface mass distributions are cut to slices of constant surface mass density for which the de ection is easy to compute. The de ection of the total mass distribution is found by superpos...
متن کاملGravitational Waves and Black Holes An Introduction to General Relativity
In these lectures general relativity is outlined as the classical field theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves as well as stationary fields like those of black holes are discussed. Their properties are investigated by studying the geodesic structure of the corresponding space-times, as representing the motion of ...
متن کاملGravitational Lenses
Gravitational lenses are becoming a precious mean of probing the matter distribution in the Universe. From the search of matter in the Galactic halo to the study of the large-scale structures of the Universe, the gravitational lens effects offer a unique alternative to light surveys and are now widely used. This evolution is due in particular to the use of new observation devices, such as the w...
متن کاملGravitational redshift contradicts the curved-spacetime interpretation of general relativity
It is shown that the measurement of a change in a photon frequency in the gravitational redshift experiment is in fact an indirect measurement of a change in the photon local velocity since both frequency and velocity change in this experiment. This means that the local velocity of a photon depends upon its pre-history (whether it has been emitted at the observation point or at a point of diffe...
