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…
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…
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…
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…
