Gravitation and Experiment
The confrontation between Einstein’s gravitation theory and experimental results, notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. Experiment and theory agree at the 10 level. All the basic structures of Einstein’s theory (coupling of gravity to matter; propagation and self-interaction of the gravitational field, including in strong-field conditions) have been verified....
متن کاملOn Gravitation and Quanta∗
We show that a gravitating mass M in thermal equilibrium behaves statistically like a system of some number N of harmonic oscillators whose zero-point energy ǫ 2 depends on N universally in such a way that Nǫ2 ∼ hc G , where G is the Newton constant, c is the velocity of light in vacuum, and h is the Planck constant. The large number N is also the number of weakly interacting gravitational atom...
متن کاملElectromagnetism and Gravitation
Modern experiment has shown that bulk matter exhibits quantum structure and that this structure is electromagnetic in character. Therefore, we treat the electromagnetic field as the source of gravitation. In this way, the theory of gravitation becomes consistent with the quantum theory of matter, which holds that electric charge (or ‘generalized charge’) is the most fundamental attribute of mat...
متن کاملGravitation, Experiment and Cosmology *
The confrontation between general relativity (and its theoretically most plausible deviations) and experimental or observational results is summarized. Some discussion is devoted to the various methodologies used in confronting theory and experiment. Both weak-field (solar system) and strong-field (binary pulsar) tests are discussed in detail. A special discussion is devoted to the cosmology of...
متن کاملGravitation and Experiment 1
The confrontation between Einstein’s gravitation theory and experimental results, notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. Experiment and theory agree at the 10−3 level. All the basic structures of Einstein’s theory (coupling of gravity to matter; propagation and self-interaction of the gravitational field, including in strong-field conditions) have been verifie...
