Nonlocal Conservation Laws Derived from an Explicit Equivalence Principle

TL;DR

This paper derives nonlocal conservation laws from an explicit equivalence principle, proposing a new framework for gravity that aligns with relativistic quantum mechanics and modifies traditional gravitational energy concepts.

Contribution

It introduces a novel derivation of gravity laws based on the explicit equivalence principle, challenging the notion of gravitational field energy and proposing a new astrophysical context.

Findings

Derived gravity laws consistent with relativistic quantum mechanics

Proposed a gravity model without a real field energy exchange

Presented a new astrophysical context based on the EEP

Abstract

According to this principle (EEP), in order that the local physical laws cannot change, after changes of velocity and potentials of a measuring system, the relativistic changes of any particle and any stationary radiation (like those used to measure it) must occur in identical proportion. Thus particles and stationary radiations must have the same general physical properties. In principle more exact and better defined physical laws for particles and their gravitational (G) fields can be derived from properties of particle models made up of radiation in stationary states after using fixed reference frames that don't change in the same way as the objects. Effectively, the new laws derived in this way do correspond with relativistic quantum mechanics and with all of the G tests. The main difference with current gravity is the linearity fixed by the EEP, i.e., the G field itself has not a real field energy to exchange with the bodies and it is not a secondary source of field. G work liberates energy confined in the models stationary states. The EEP also fixes a new astrophysical context that has fundamental differences with the current ones. This one has been presented in a separated work as a test for the EEP. The whole theory,including the new universe context fixed by the EEP, was published in a book.
