Contribution

It introduces a nonlocal theory of accelerated systems and analyzes spin-gravity and spin-rotation couplings, providing new insights into relativistic physics.

Findings

Spin-rotation coupling is equivalent to spin-gravity coupling.

Nonlocal theory offers a new perspective on accelerated systems.

Implications challenge traditional locality assumptions in relativity.

Abstract

Mathisson's spin-gravity coupling and its Larmor-equivalent interaction, namely, the spin-rotation coupling are discussed. The study of the latter leads to a critical examination of the basic role of locality in relativistic physics. The nonlocal theory of accelerated systems is outlined and some of its implications are described.
