hi,

I would like to know if the contribution of some electromagnetic field through the electromagnetic stress energy tensor can decrease the intensity of gravity. it has negative components.

can it decrease pressure?

in such case, this would lead to some kind of relative antigravity like dark energy?

thank you for your reply!

in the Reissner Nordstrom metric, the charge seems to generate some kind of antigravity near the curvature singularity and it decreases the radius of the event horizon. does that mean that electromagnetism generates there some kind of relative antigravity?

The contribution of electromagnetic field to the metric is positive in the Reissner Nordstrom metric as can be understood from the following perturbative terms appearing in the first and second components of the line-element:

g_{00}=1-2m/r+4\pi Ge^2/r^2c^4 and
g_{11}=1/g_{00}.

The electromagnetic field always produces a really tiny curvature unisonant with the curvature generated by the existence of matter and gravitational field. Antigravity just states that if a gravitating body has a negative total charge, then all the charged particles with the same charge sign would escape from gravity. But this has not been ever observed experimentally and usually is perdicted to be wrong because as a result of the electromagnetic field being really weak compared to the gravitational force, such interation wouldn't be possible and would indeed lead to big paradoxes inside the GR; one being the fact that gravity is an attractive force. Google "Göde Scientific Research Foundation" to get the newest news on this issue.

in the Kerr metric the same applies near the curvature singularity with some kind of antigravity

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
