Abstract:
|
|
The frequency of an atomic clock is driven by the energy differ ence between excited states of an atom. Since the frequency of an atomic clock is a function of the gravitational potential, the energy difference must likewise be a function of the gravitational potential. Thus, the Pound-Rebka experiment rather than show ing that a falling photon picked up energy, simply showed a higher frequency by compa rison to a lower reference frequency. The frequency (energy) of a fall ing photon is unchanged. This shows that the General Theory of Relativity is wrong—gravity doe s not act on all forms of energy. This revision of gravitational effects is explored. S ignificant implications arise and potential explanations for significant ongoing problems in cosmology are developed.
