# Mossbauer rotor experiment as new proof of general relativity: Rigorous computation of the additional effect of clock synchronization

## TL;DR

This paper provides a rigorous general relativistic analysis of the Mossbauer rotor experiment, confirming it as a strong independent proof of Einstein's GTR by correcting previous computational errors and addressing criticisms.

## Contribution

It introduces a precise computation of the clock synchronization effect in the Mossbauer rotor experiment, strengthening its role as evidence for GTR.

## Key findings

- Confirmed the Mossbauer rotor experiment as a proof of GTR
- Corrected previous computational errors in the analysis
- Refuted recent criticisms of the approach

## Abstract

We received an Honorable Mention at the Gravity Research Foundation 2018 Awards for Essays on Gravitation by showing that a correct general relativistic interpretation of the Mossbauer rotor experiment represents a new, strong and independent, proof of Einstein's general theory relativity (GTR). Here we correct a mistake which was present in our previous computations on this important issue by deriving a rigorous computation of the additional effect of clock synchronization. Finally, we show that some recent criticisms on our general relativistic approach to the Mossbauer rotor experiment are incorrect, by ultimately confirming our important result.
