    Mechanism of Gravity Impulse

    Full text link
    It is well-known that energy-momentum is the source of gravitational field. For a long time, it is generally believed that only stars with huge masses can generate strong gravitational field. Based on the unified theory of gravitational interactions and electromagnetic interactions, a new mechanism of the generation of gravitational field is studied. According to this mechanism, in some special conditions, electromagnetic energy can be directly converted into gravitational energy, and strong gravitational field can be generated without massive stars. Gravity impulse found in experiments is generated by this mechanism.Comment: 10 page

    Precise Measurement of Gravity Variations During a Total Solar Eclipse

    Full text link
    The variations of gravity were measured with a high precision LaCoste-Romberg D gravimeter during a total solar eclipse to investigate the effect of solar eclipse on the gravitational field. The observed anomaly (7.0±2.7)×10−8(7.0 \pm 2.7) \times 10^{-8} m/s2^2 during the eclipse implies that there may be a shielding property of gravitation

    Role of a "Local" Cosmological Constant in Euclidean Quantum Gravity

    In 4D non-perturbative Regge calculus a positive value of the effective cosmological constant characterizes the collapsed phase of the system. If a local term of the form S′=∑hϵ{h1,h2,...}λhVhS'=\sum_{h \epsilon \{h_1,h_2,...\} } \lambda_h V_h is added to the gravitational action, where {h1,h2,...}\{h_1,h_2,...\} is a subset of the hinges and {λh}\{\lambda_h\} are positive constants, one expects that the volumes Vh1V_{h_1}, Vh2V_{h_2}, ... tend to collapse and that the excitations of the lattice propagating through the hinges {h1,h2,...}\{h_1,h_2,...\} are damped. We study the continuum analogue of this effect. The additional term S′S' may represent the coupling of the gravitational field to an external Bose condensate.Comment: LaTex, 18 page

    Non-Relativistic Limit of Dirac Equations in Gravitational Field and Quantum Effects of Gravity

    Full text link
    Based on unified theory of electromagnetic interactions and gravitational interactions, the non-relativistic limit of the equation of motion of a charged Dirac particle in gravitational field is studied. From the Schrodinger equation obtained from this non-relativistic limit, we could see that the classical Newtonian gravitational potential appears as a part of the potential in the Schrodinger equation, which can explain the gravitational phase effects found in COW experiments. And because of this Newtonian gravitational potential, a quantum particle in earth's gravitational field may form a gravitationally bound quantized state, which had already been detected in experiments. Three different kinds of phase effects related to gravitational interactions are discussed in this paper, and these phase effects should be observable in some astrophysical processes. Besides, there exists direct coupling between gravitomagnetic field and quantum spin, radiation caused by this coupling can be used to directly determine the gravitomagnetic field on the surface of a star.Comment: 12 pages, no figur
