Gravity Cannot Cure Quantum Mechanics of its Malady of the Collapse of the Wavefunction
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
The speculation that gravity is the key to solving the quantum measurement problem has been alive for decades, without any convincing demonstration of a solution. One necessary fac…
Gravitational Wave Test of the Strong Equivalence Principle
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
The Strong Equivalence Principle (SEP) holds the full essence and meaning of the General Theory of Relativity as the nonlinear relativistic theory of gravitation. It asserts the un…
Effective interaction force between an electric charge and a magnetic dipole and locality (or nonlocality) in quantum effects of the Aharonov-Bohm type
Gianfranco Spavieri, George T. Gillies, Miguel E. Rodriguez +1
Classical electrodynamics foresees that the effective interaction force between a moving charge and a magnetic dipole is modified by the time-varying total momentum of the interact…
Gravitational waves at their own gravitational speed
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
Gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light in general relativity, because of its special relativistic basis. However, light propagation is linked to the electromagnetic ph…
Some remarks on an old problem of radiation and gravity
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
The assumed universality of the equivalence principle suggests that a particle in a gravitational field has identical physics to one in an accelerated frame. Yet, energy considerat…
Quantum Gravito-Optics: A Light Route from Semiclassical Gravity to Quantum Gravity
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
Quantum gravity remains an elusive theory, in spite of our thorough understanding of the quantum theory and the general theory of relativity separately, presumably due to the lack…
Rigorous Comparison of Gravimetry Employing Atom Interferometers and the Measurement of Gravitational Time Dilation
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
We present a gravitationally rigorous and clear answer, in the negative, to the question whether gravimetry with atom interferometers is equivalent to the the measurement of the re…
Universality in the Gravitational Stretching of Clocks, Waves and Quantum States
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
There are discernible and fundamental differences between clocks, waves and physical states in classical physics. These fundamental concepts find a common expression in the context…
Implications upon theory discrimination of an accurate measurement of the time rate of change of the gravitational parameter and other cosmological parameters
Alvin J. Sanders, George T. Gillies, Ernst Schmutzer
A substantial improvement in the accuracy of G-dot tests (The dot denotes the time derivative.) would make it realistic to speak in terms of a measurement of G-dot, rather than mer…
Momentum of electromagnetic fields, speed of light in moving media, and the photon mass
Gianfranco Spavieri, George T. Gillies
In both the equations for matter and light wave propagation, the momentum of the electromagnetic fields Pe reflects the relevant em interaction. As a review of some applications of…
Precise Gravitational Tests via the SEE Mission: A Proposal for Space-Based Measurements
Alvin J. Sanders, George T. Gillies
The objective of a SEE mission is to support development of unification theory by carrying out sensitive gravitational tests capable of determining whether various alternative theo…
Satellite Eötvös Test of the Weak Equivalence Principle for Zero-Point Vacuum Energy
J. W. Moffat, G. T. Gillies
An Eötvös experiment to test the weak equivalence principle (WEP) for zero-point vacuum energy is proposed using a satellite. Following the suggestion of Ross for a terrestrial exp…
An origin of the Universe determined by quantum physics and relativistic gravity
C. S. Unnikrishnan, G. T. Gillies, R. C. Ritter
We discuss the evolution of the Universe from what might be called its quantum origin. We apply the uncertainty principle to the origin of the Universe with characteristic time sca…
New Constraints on the Yukawa-Type Hypothetical Interaction From The Recent Casimir Force Measurement
M. Bordag, G. T. Gillies, V. M. Mostepanenko
We calculate the constraints on the constants of hypothetical long-range interactions which follow from the recent measurement of the Casimir force. A comparison with previous cons…
