Cooling the Earth with filled containers in space
Orfeu Bertolami, Clovis Jacinto de Matos
We argue that geostationary (GEO) reflective containers filled with could be used as shading devices to selectively cool areas on Earth's surface. This proposal would be an…
Experimental Evidences Supporting the Extension of the Equivalence Principle to Electromagnetic Fields
Clovis Jacinto de Matos, Murat Özer, Grzegorz Lukasz Izworsk
The principle of equivalence postulating that an acceleration is indistinguishable from gravity by any experiment, is valid within families of particles having the same passive gra…
Testing the Influence of the Gravitational Redshift on the Casimir Effect in Space
C. J. de Matos, M. Tajmar
We show that the Casimir effect should be influenced by variations of the gravitational potential. This could be tested with a satellite in a highly elliptic orbit. Still significa…
Modified Entropic Gravitation in Superconductors
Clovis Jacinto de Matos
Verlinde recently developed a theoretical account of gravitation in terms of an entropic force. The central element in Verlinde's derivation is information and its relation with en…
Weak Equivalence Principle and Propagation of the Wave Function in Quantum Mechanics
Clovis Jacinto de Matos
The propagation of the wave function of a particle is characterised by a group and a phase velocity. The group velocity is associated with the particle's classical velocity, which…
Are Superfluid Vortices in Pulsars Violating the Weak Equivalence Principle?
Clovis Jacinto de Matos
In the present paper we argue that timing irregularities in pulsars, like glitches and timing noise, could be associated with the violation of the weak equivalence principle for vo…
Space-QUEST: Experiments with quantum entanglement in space
Rupert Ursin, Thomas Jennewein, Johannes Kofler +36
The European Space Agency (ESA) has supported a range of studies in the field of quantum physics and quantum information science in space for several years, and consequently we hav…
Possible Measurable Effects of Dark Energy in Rotating Superconductors
Clovis Jacinto de Matos, Christian Beck
We discuss recent laboratory experiments with rotating superconductors and show that three so far unexplained experimentally observed effects (anomalous acceleration signals, anoma…
Gravitomagnetic Field of a Rotating Superconductor and of a Rotating Superfluid
M. Tajmar, C. J. de Matos
The quantization of the extended canonical momentum in quantum materials including the effects of gravitational drag is applied successively to the case of a multiply connected rot…
Advance of Mercury Perihelion Explained by Cogravity
C. J. de Matos, M. Tajmar
The theory of General Relativity explaines the advance of Mercury perihelion using space curvature and the Schwartzschild metric. We demonstrate that this phenomena can also be int…
