I am unfamiliar with the Pioneer anomaly but i will certainly look into it. But if that is true would this system therefore not violate the law of conservation of momentum since in the end radiation is released? But i suppose if that ends up being the only cause of a net force then it wouldn’t...

But just the fact that heat energy can be transferred from one object to another thru radiation (which we know) and that the energy transferred in that exchange effects the weight of both objects (which is theorized in GR) means that it would violate conservation of momentum NOT to consider it a...

Unless you consider the heat energy as the exchange. Heat energy is radiated in exchange for the force. Or a more off the wall theory would be that it is not exchanging momentum but redirecting it. But honestly i don't expect the experiment to work, i just think it is worth trying. Right but...

This is an experiment I have wanted to do for a few years now but don't have the necessary equipment. GR tells us if you have identical objects with the same weight exactly when they are at the same temperature, then when one object is heated, it will weigh more. This is because the...

interesting... could you expand on that? assuming 2 perfectly stationary objects in space that have are held in place for a long period of time (so any gravitational waves have already passed by) and then released, what about their inertia causes them to slope down the spacetime curvature?

so i am somewhat new to the theory of general relativity but in none of the papers i have read does anyone seem to explain what causes matter to attract... for example, the moon and the Earth are attracted to each other because each of them warps spacetime around themselves. these warped pockets...
