In general relativity (GR) no observer is physically privileged. As a strict consequence, it can be shown that the physical generation of gravitational waves (GW's) is quite impossible.
I give here: i) a very simple proof that the physical non-existence of gravitational waves (GW's) is quite consistent with the basic principles of general relativity (GR); ii) a new argument against the physical existence of GW's; iii) a…
The notion of gravitational wave (GW) came forth originally as a by-product of the linear approximation of general relativity (GR). Now, it can be proved that this approximation is quite inadequate to a proper study of the hypothetic GW's.…
A close comparison between Maxwell field and Einstein field makes conceptually and immediately evident that in general relativity (GR) no motions of bodies can generate gravitational waves (GW's).
General relativity describes gravitation in terms of the geometry of spacetime. It predicts the existence of gravitational waves (GWs) that stretch and compress spacetime and were detected recently by state-of-the-art interferometer…
A very recent research validates observationally the theoretical demonstrations of the physical non-existence of the gravitational waves.
It is shown that, in the framework of Relativistic Theory of Gravitation with massive graviton, gravitational waves, due to the causality condition, do not bear negative energy flows.
A short history of the theoretical discovery that the gravitational waves of general relativity do not have a physical reality.
The gravitational waves are non-physical sinuosities generated, in the last analysis, by undulating reference frames.
A gravitational wave must be nonlinear to be able to transport its own source, that is, energy and momentum. A physical gravitational wave, therefore, cannot be represented by a solution to a linear wave equation. Relying on this property,…
A proof that the generation of gravitational waves is physically impossible.
According to General Relativity gravity is the result of the interaction between matter and space-time geometry. In this interaction space-time geometry itself is dynamical: it can store and transport energy and momentum in the form of…
A physical consequence of a well-known Fermi's theorem: no motion of masses can generate gravitational waves.
Gravitational waves (GWs) are direct probes of cosmological gravity, sensitive to space-time inhomogeneities along their propagation. The presence of massive objects breaks homogeneity and isotropy, allowing for new interactions between…
We represent and discuss a theory of gravitational holography in which all the involved waves; subject, reference and illuminator are gravitational waves (GW). Although these waves are so weak that no terrestrial experimental set-ups, even…
A general linear gauge-invariant equation for dispersive gravitational waves (GWs) propagating in matter is derived. This equation describes, on the same footing, both the usual tensor modes and the gravitational modes strongly coupled with…
Equation describing propagation of gravitational waves (GW) over arbitrary curved space-time background is analyzed. New terms, which are absent in the conventional homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann cosmology, are found. Some examples of…
Very straightforward arguments proving the physical non-existence of GW's and of BH's. They are so simple that even the members of the Wheelerian establishment will understand them.
Gravitational waves (GW), as light, are gravitationally lensed by intervening matter, deflecting their trajectories, delaying their arrival and occasionally producing multiple images. In theories beyond general relativity (GR), new…
Twisted gravitational waves (TGWs) are nonplanar waves with twisted rays that move along a fixed direction in space. We study further the physical characteristics of a recent class of Ricci-flat solutions of general relativity representing…
