No repulsive force in General Relativity
M.A. Abramowicz, J.-P. Lasota
TL;DR
This paper refutes a recent claim that gravitational wave emission causes a repulsive force responsible for the Universe's accelerated expansion, reaffirming the standard understanding of gravity.
Contribution
It critically analyzes and disproves the assertion that gravitational waves induce a repulsive force affecting cosmic acceleration.
Findings
The claim of repulsive gravitational force is unfounded.
Standard General Relativity does not predict such a repulsive effect.
The paper clarifies misconceptions about gravitational wave impacts.
Abstract
We show that a recent assertion [arXiv:1608.01541] that gravitational wave emission can lead to a repulsive force explaining the accelerated expansion of the Universe is totally unfounded.
