Peeking under the clouds: Is exoplanet imaging with the solar gravitational lens feasible?
Viktor T. Toth
Exoplanet imaging using the solar gravitational lens is an enticing prospect. The fundamental physical properties of the lens, including its angular resolution and light amplificat…
Feline gravity manipulation
Viktor T. Toth
Since their domestication at the dawn of civilization, cats have been known for their uncanny ability to seemingly defy gravity. We conjecture that this innate ability of cats is r…
Pushing limits: Probing new gravity using a satellite constellation
Viktor T. Toth
Building upon earlier work, we explore the limits of using a configuration of satellites to measure the trace of the gravitational gradient tensor using intersatellite laser rangin…
Metric symmetry by design in general relativity
Viktor T. Toth
The usual derivation of Einstein's field equations from the Einstein--Hilbert action is performed by silently assuming the metric tensor's symmetric character. If this symmetry is…
Is graviton shot noise detectable?
Viktor T. Toth
Direct detection of gravitons in gravitational experiments, including gravitational wave observatories, has been all but ruled out given the weak coupling between the gravitational…
