Both linear and quadratic coupling are observed as a consequence of the nonlinearity of the gravitational potential. Our results extend the parameter space of gravity measurements to small, single source masses and low gravitational field strengths. Further improvements to our methodology will enable ...
The 100 years since the publication of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity saw significant development of the understanding of the theory, the identification of potential astrophysical sources of sufficiently strong gravitational waves and development of key technologies for gravitational-wave det...
[25] The Earth's external gravitational potential, V, at a point P defined by its geocentric distance (r), geocentric co-latitude (θ) (defined as 90°-latitude), and longitude (λ), is given by: where GM is the geocentric gravitational constant and a is a scaling factor associated ...

The violation of Lorentz invariance (LI) in gravitational theories, which allows superluminal propagations, dramatically alters the causal structure of the
one of the patch has a singularity at finite proper distance and other patch is asymptotically flat at infinite proper distance. The aether configuration and spacetime geometry are similar to static WH aether solutions [51]. The WH-like static aether solution is physically undesirable, according to...
That second term (-½mω²r², where r is the distance from the axis of rotation) represents the potential energy due to the centrifugal force that appears when you view things from a rotating frame. Note that since the force is outward, the centrifugal PE becomes smaller (more negati...
Submerged in an aligned magnetic field with vector potential Aa, this rotation is highly interactive along the axis of rotation and in the equatorial plane. We shall discuss these interactions according to two mechanisms:VF=eΩHAφT=−J̇H,These open (I) and closed (II) models, ...
corresponding to the inferredθE = 0.167″ (0.6 kpc atz = 0.2262), enclosing the lensM = (7.82 ± 0.06) × 109 M⊙. The host galaxy nucleus is located 1.4″ to the northeast of the lens, implying that SN Zwicky exploded at a projected distance of 7 ...
[161]. A simple example is that any scalar field potentialV(ϕ) becomes dynamically irrelevant compared to the kinetic energy |∇ϕ|2in a self-similar solution [49], so that all scalar fields with potentials are in the universality class of the free massless scalar field. Surprisingly,...
