“My field equations are like a house with two wings: The left-hand side is made of fine marble,

but the right-hand side of perishable wood.”

-- Albert Einstein

The Yilmaz formulation of relativistic gravity completes Einstein’s field equations, making the right-hand side also

of fine marble.

SOME OF THE STRENGTHS OF THE YILMAZ THEORY

(FULFILLING EINSTEIN’S HOPES FOR GENERAL RELATIVITY)

N-Body interactive solutions, exact in the low velocity limit

Exact multimode gravitational wave solutions of arbitrary strength

Compatibility with quantum theory

These, and many others, follow from the introduction of a true

tensor for the gravitational field stress energy instead of

the coordinate artifact (“pseudotensor”) of general relativity

1. The speaker’s path to advocacy of the Yilmaz theory:

THE NEED TO COMPREHEND EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS

2. Introduction to the Yilmaz Theory from the Principle of Equivalence

3. Some experiments requiring the Yilmaz Theory:

Lunar Laser Ranging measurements showing that

gravitational binding energy gravitates

Proper Time measurements showing that clock rates are independent

of latitude on the rotating Earth

The measured isotropy of the local one-way speed of light on rotating

platforms (recent results of Professor Yan Hua Shih et al. at UMBC)

Consequences of the Freud decomposition and Identity

5. Some properties of the Yilmaz theory of importance for astrophysics:

Compact objects exist without event horizons - No “Black Holes”

Radiation can always escape into a narrow cone, extremely redshifted

No singularities - the Kretschmann invariants are zero, not infinite

Exact gravitatiional wave solutions exist transporting energy and

Momentum in accordance with the analog of the Poynting theorem

Key Postulate of Special Relativity

The speed of light is isotropic and has the value c

(c = 2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s)

whenever measured by an INERTIAL OBSERVER

This was given geometric expression with spacetime diagrams by the mathematician Herman Minkowski

[recall last talk of Einstein , Princeton, 1954]

The Yilmaz theory extends this property of the local speed of light to ACCELERATED OBSERVERS

and to OBSERVERS IN A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD

CURVED SPACETIME CHRONOMETRY

(J. L. Synge)

The use of Atomic Clocks and Laser Light Pulses in the examination of

gravitational fields may be compared to the use of

iron filings on paper over magnets and

horsehair cuttings on the surface of oil over charged electrodes

in the examination of magnetic and electric fields

(demonstrations by Michael Faraday in mid 19th century led him,

and from him, James Clerk Maxwell, to the field concept)

How to determine the values of the spatial metric coefficients?

Physical conditions are imposed on the local speed of light:

that it propagate isotropically and have the local value c

Independent of the acceleration of the observer and independent of the strength of the local

gravitational field g = - gradient(φ).

These postulates of Yilmaz extend the key postulate of Einstein about the speed of light in special relativity.

In curved spacetime the d’Alembertian wave operator is:

W2ξ = 1

−g∂α −ggαβ∂βξ( ) =gαβ∂α∂βξ + 1

−g∂α −ggαβ( )∂βξ

Setting the underlined expression = 0 is the harmonic or DeDondergauge condition.

It eliminates the dependence on the gradient of thepotential (the operand ξ can be considered as ).

[ It is also necessary for compatibility with quantum theory,allowing the wave group velocity to match the Hamiltonian

particle velocity.]

• The Most Significant Physics Results of nearly 37 years of• continuous Lunar Laser Ranging are the following:

– The massive bodies Earth and Moon fall to the Sun with the same acceleration. That is, gravitational binding energy

gravitates like the mass equivalent of other energy “Strong Principle of Equivalence”

“Gravity gravitates”

– The Brans-Dicke Scalar-Tensor Theory fails since it predicts different accelerations for the Earth and the Moon

toward the Sun

– General Relativity can not account for the measurements since it lacks both N-Body interactive solutions and the

localization of gravitational field energy needed to calculate binding energy

– The gravitational theory of Yilmaz is required to describe the measurements

The Earth as an elevator falling toward the Sun

“Floor” = Northern Hemisphere: Washington, USA (low clock)“Ceiling” = Southern Hemisphere: Christchurch, NZ (high clock)

Does the “Ceiling Clock” run fast with respect to the“Floor Clock”because of the difference in the Sun’s gravitational potential?

Before the clock flights and measurements were carried out in 1997,no clear answer could be obtained from the general relativity community.

The experimental answer is NO, to first order. The explanation lies in the Principle of Equivalence

Clocks on the rotating Earth

He stated that a clock at the equator would run slow withrespect to one at the pole because of its velocity

In fact, the change in gravitational potential from the equator to the pole on the oblate Earth just compensates the change in velocity.

(equatorial radius - polar radius = 21 km)

Identical clocks on the geoid run at the same rate, independent of theirlatitude.

The effect of gravitational potential on clocks was discovered byEinstein only in 1907!

where is the multimode Newtonian gravitational potential andv is the surface velocity of the rotating Earth. The geopotential is

constant along the geoid, which roughly coincides with mean sea level.

Such exact multimode solutions are not available in generalrelativity because of the absence of N-body interactive solutions.

They are available exactly in the Yilmaz theory.

One-way Speed of Lightin a Rotating Frame

Let r = radius = angular velocity

Is the locally measured speed of light in the rotating frame

c or r c ?

Most treatments of the ring laser gyroscope use r c. For r large, r = constant,

this is inconsistent with special relativity.

Yilmaz predicted c in his Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science lecture of 1969 and in his MG4 paper of 1986.

• First Direct Comparison of the One-Way Speed of Light between the East-West and West-East Directions of the Rotating Earth

– Pulses of laser light were sent from the Goddard Space FlightCenter to the U. S. Naval Observatory utilizing a mirror on topof the Washington National Cathedral and sent back by aretro-reflector array. The sending and receiving timeswere recorded by a hydrogen maser atomic clock.

– A second hydrogen maser atomic clock was carefullytransported from the GSFC to the USNO and the timeof arrival (and reflection by an adjacent retro-reflector)of the laser pulse recorded by the transported clock.

– Nine repetitions showed the difference between the EW and WE transit times to be no greater than 100 ps, the limitation being systematic errors of unknown origin. Unfortunately this is the amount to be expected if the speed of light is affected by the surface speed of ~350 m/s.

– The isotropy of the speed of light was not established by these experiments. It is hoped to redo them with higher precision and reduced systematic errors in the in the near future.

We hope to repeat this experiment during the coming year with the following improvements:

The air path for the laser light pulses will be replaced with dark optical fiber between the College Park and Baltimore County campuses of the University of Maryland (critical Δt = 144 ps)

Better timing electronics

Better environmental isolation during the transp;ort of the hydrogen maser atomic clocks

Definitive results are expected

The locally measured phasevelocity is c, not r c.

This agrees with the predictionof Yilmaz in 1969

Mathematical structure comparisons between General

Relativity and the Yilmaz Gauge Field Theory of gravity

A mathematical identity exists in Riemannian geometry,

the Freud identity, whose full implications are ignored in GR.

This has the following consequences:

Absence of interactions between massive bodies for solutions of the Einstein field equations

Replacement of the correct energy-momentum

conservation law of special relativity by the

incorrect law of conservation of rest-mass

“Obstreperous term”(Schrödinger’s name)

Einstein transformed the obstreperous term into a plain divergence:

One can then write, putting the matter tensor

as required by Gauss’ Theorem for a conservation law.

In 1918 Schrödinger evaluated the field stress-energy for the Schwarzschild metric in rectangular coordinates and found

every componentto be zero

He was very surprised and wrote a paper about it. Einstein replied that he was as surprised as Schrödinger, but that the

reason was that the Schwarzschild solution was only for one body. All would be well with the two body solution.

No such solution ever found in GR until recently.(Two-disk solution, but there is no force between them,

contrary to fact.)

Also in 1918, Bauer evaluated uμν for the Minkowski metric where

there is no gravitational field. Using polar coordinaates he found

uμν is a coordinate artifact, not a tensor. Einstein was severely

criticized by the leading theorists and mathematicians for using it !

which satisfies the identity

He regarded the identity as a proof of Einstein’s conservation law:

However the Freud identity is an independent indicial identitydistinct from the Bianchi identity.

Express the true tensor as the difference between the non-tensors.Each non-tensor must therefore have a true tensor part added to

the same non-tensor part which cancels

In general relativity the gravitational field stress energy is suppressed from the field equatiions. Therefore

The results of Schrodinger and Bauer are now understandable.

This is analogous to electrodynamics where the Lorentz force is the divergence of the Faraday/Maxwell electromagnetic field

These exact two body solutions (ε = 1 and ε = -1) for the Einstein field equation exhibit divisors of zero so that the right hand side

of the geodesic equations of motion vanishes! This is a property of all solutions of the Einstein field equations.

It is a consequence of the Bianchi and Freud identities.

The Yilmaz theory completes Einstein’s theory, achieving Einstein’s wishes with exact solutions

for important physical systems.

The gravitational field stress-energy is a true tensor.

The successes of General Relativity use approximations to the Yilmaz theory.

There should be explicit recognition of this

paradigm shift to the new theory!
