On the spin-rotation-gravity coupling

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2011-04-15 v1

Abstract

The inertial and gravitational properties of intrinsic spin are discussed and some of the recent work in this area is briefly reviewed. The extension of relativistic wave equations to accelerated systems and gravitational fields is critically examined. A nonlocal theory of accelerated observers is presented and its predictions are compared with observation.
