Is the Gravitomagnetic Field in Heim's Theory Worth Investigating?

[duke_nemmerle]

Over in https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=115295 on the forum they are talking about this research being hailed as a test for GR...BUT...could someone tell me if the "gravitomagnetic" field in http://www.physorg.com/news12054.html was what Heim was talking about.

I think it's time to take a serious new look at this guy and his stuff. Fool me once(no one takes a look at alleged mass of particles derived from first principles in Heim's theory) shame on me, fool me twice(the reason the theory was hyped recently was it's Gravitomagnetic fields from spinning conductors) shame on us, big time.

Someone who is better than me should investigate and report please

EDIT: I'm no physicist so I can't really say one thing or another on this besides what I think. Hopefully someone can say something at least about this experiment at all. It sounds like a reproduction of an earlier experiment by a Russian scientist that was jeered quite heavily. Anyone?

I had read in one article about it that GR does not predict the right force... so I do not see how it does support GR over Heim (someone mentioned to me that Heim does in fact predict the right force)

I would say that it is always important to approach new research and theories with an open mind, but also with a critical eye. While the idea of a "gravitomagnetic" field may seem intriguing, it is important to thoroughly examine the evidence and experimental results before making any conclusions. It is also important to consider the source of the information and whether or not it has been peer-reviewed and validated by other scientists in the field. As for Heim's theory, it is always worth investigating and considering new ideas, but it should also be subject to rigorous testing and scrutiny before it can be accepted as a valid explanation for phenomena. Ultimately, the scientific process is about constantly questioning and testing ideas, and it is through this process that we can make progress and advancements in our understanding of the universe. So, while it may be tempting to jump to conclusions or dismiss new ideas, it is important to approach them with a critical and open-minded mindset.
