The Questionable Existence of Gravitomagnetic Force

Abstract

Using a simple model of moving massive parallel plates this paper explains that there cannot be any gravitomagnetic force contrary to a widely spread belief that such a force exists. The existence of this force is usually supported by the analogy with the Maxwell theory of Electromagnetic fields. The gravitomagnetic force, analogous to a force described by the Lorentz force equation, and the accompanied gravitoelectromagnetic field equations, are all derived from Einstein field equations by linearization for the weak gravitational field. The derivation presented in this paper offers a clear reason for the nonexistence of the gravitomagnetic field and therefore also questions the validity of Einstein field equations.Keywords: gravitomagnetic force, Einstein field equations, Maxwell field equations, Lorentz force equation, field energy of charged parallel plates, field energy of massive parallel plates, potential field energy, kinetic field energy

Did the Gravity Probe B Actually Prove the Einstein's General Relativity Theory?

“…

AbstractIt has been shown in an earlier publication (Hynecek, 2013) that the frame dragging effect due to the Earth's rotation, which is claimed that the Gravity Probe B (GP-B) has detected, cannot exist. In this paper it is shown that the Geodetic Precession, which the GP-B has also measured, and is typically calculated from the Einstein's General Relativity Theory (GRT), can also be calculated from a different metric.
