From Clock Synchronization to Dark Matter as a Relativistic Inertial Effect

TL;DR

This paper explores the connection between clock synchronization, relativistic inertial effects, and the possibility of interpreting dark matter as an inertial phenomenon within Einstein's General Relativity, through advanced relativistic metrology.

Contribution

It proposes a novel interpretation of dark matter as a relativistic inertial effect linked to clock synchronization in Einstein GR.

Findings

Dark matter may be explained as a relativistic inertial effect.

Relativistic metrology plays a key role in understanding inertial effects.

The approach connects gravitational physics with clock synchronization techniques.

Abstract

Lecture at BOSS2011 on relativistic metrology, on clock synchronization, relativistic dynamics and non-inertial frames in Minkowski spacetime, on relativistic atomic physics, on ADM canonical tetrad gravity in asymptotically Minkowskian spacetimes, on the York canonical basis identifying the inertial (gauge) and tidal degrees of freedom of the gravitational field, on the Post-Minkowskian linearization in 3-orthogonal gauges, on the Post-Newtonian limit of matter Hamilton equations, on the possibility to interpret dark matter as a relativistic inertial effect connected with relativistic metrology (i.e. clock synchronization) in Einstein GR.
