Experimental tests of pseudo-complex General Relativity

TL;DR

This paper explores observable differences between pseudo-complex General Relativity (pc-GR) and Einstein's GR, proposing experimental tests to detect lower orbital frequencies, weaker frame dragging, and reduced gravitational redshift predicted by pc-GR.

Contribution

It introduces specific experimental tests to distinguish pc-GR from standard GR by analyzing orbital frequencies, frame dragging, and gravitational redshift effects.

Findings

Orbital frequency at a given radius is lower in pc-GR.

Frame dragging effect is weaker in pc-GR.

Gravitational redshift is reduced in pc-GR.

Abstract

Based on previous publications exploring pseudo-complex General Relativity (pc-GR) we present a selection of observable consequences of pc-GR and possible ways to experimentally access them. Whenever possible we compare the results to Einstein's GR and differences are worked out in detail. We propose experimental tests to check the predictions of pc-GR for the orbital frequency of test particles, the gravitational redshift effect and the last stable orbit. We will show that the orbital frequency of test particles at a given radius in pc-GR is in general lower compared to standard GR. Also the effect of frame dragging is modified (weakened) in pc-GR. Concerning the gravitational redshift of a radiation emitting object we find that it is also lower in pc-GR than in standard GR. Eventually the classical concept of a last stable orbit has to be modified in pc-GR.
