A new relativity principle for bodies in different gravitational potentials

摘要

A general principle of non-equivalence for bodies and observers in differentG potentials (GP) was derived from correspondence of the Einstein's equivalenceprinciple either with optical physics or with gravitational experiments inwhich bodies and observers are in different GP. According to it some relativephysical changes occur to any well defined part of an object after a change ofGP.. Such changes cannot be measured by observers travelling with the objectbecause his instruments change in identical proportions. The same principle wasderived from a new gravitational theory based on a particle model made up ofphotons in stationary states. Such model accounts for the inertial andgravitational properties of matter. This principle is not consistent with both,the classical hypotheses on the relative invariability of the bodies after achange of GP and with the G field energy hypothesis. The two kinds of errorsare of the same magnitude and opposite signs. Such errors are cancelled butonly when the two hypotheses are used. This accounts for the good predictionsof general relativity for the classical gravitational tests. The new propertiesof the universe derived from the new principle, are radically different fromthe classical ones. They are more clearly consistent with the astronomicalobservations.
