Angular momentum effects in weak gravitational fields

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that angular momentum can significantly influence spacetime geometry at laboratory scales, surpassing Newtonian effects, due to the ratio of angular momentum to mass expressed as a length.

Contribution

It reveals that angular momentum effects on spacetime geometry can be much larger at small scales than previously expected, challenging conventional assumptions.

Findings

Angular momentum effects can dominate over Newtonian effects at laboratory scales.

The ratio of angular momentum to mass as a length can exceed the mass length, amplifying effects.

Laboratory-scale experiments could observe these angular momentum-induced spacetime effects.

Abstract

It is shown that, contrary to what is normally expected, it is possible to have angular momentum effects on the geometry of space time at the laboratory scale, much bigger than the purely Newtonian effects. This is due to the fact that the ratio between the angular momentum of a body and its mass, expressed as a length, is easily greater than the mass itself, again expressed as a length.
