We analyze the attempt by C. Corda to explain the results of modern Mössbauer experiments in a rotating system via the additional effect of synchronization of the clock in the origin of the rotating system with the laboratory clock, and indicate errors committed by him.

The possibility has been recently demonstrated to manufacture (nonrelativistic, Hamiltonian) many-body problems which feature an isochronous time evolution with an arbitrarily assigned period T yet mimic with good approximation, or even exactly, any given many-body problem (within a large, physically relevant, class) over times [Formula: see text] which may also be arbitrarily large (but of course such that [Formula: see text]). Purpose and scope of this paper is to explore the possibility to extend this finding to a general relativity context. For simplicity we restrict our consideration to the case of homogeneous and isotropic metrics and show that, via an approach analogous to that used for the nonrelativistic many-body problem, a class of homogeneous and isotropic cyclic solutions of Einstein's equations may be obtained. For these solutions the duration of the cycles does not depend on the initial conditions, so we call these models isochronous cosmologies. We give a physical interpretation of such metrics and in particular we show that they may behave arbitrarily closely, or even identically, to the Friedman–Robertson–Walker solutions of Einstein's equations for an arbitrarily long time (of course shorter than their period, which can also be assigned arbitrarily), so that they may reproduce all the satisfactory phenomenological features of the standard cosmological Λ-CDM model in a portion of their cycle; while these isochronous cosmologies may be geodesically complete and therefore singularity-free.

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 Mössbauer rotor experiment represents a new, strong and independent proof of Einstein’s general theory of 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 Mössbauer rotor experiment are incorrect, by ultimately confirming our important result.

The problem statement. We argue that the canonical interpretation of the Schwarzschild spacetime in contemporary general relativity is wrong and that revision is needed. And we argue that the Schwarzschild solution is impossible to treat classically, since the Levi-Cività connection is not available for the whole Schwarzschild spacetime (Sch,gijSch (t r, , ,θϕ)) ; where Sch=×(({r ≥ 2m} {∪ ≤ ≤0 r 2m})×S2) ; but it can only be treated by using an embedding of the classical Schwarzschild metric tensor gijSch; ,i j =1,2,3,4 into Colombeau algebra δ(4,Σ),Σ= ={r 2m} {∪ =r 0} supergeneralized functions. The classical Schwarzschild spacetime could be extended up to the distributional semi-Riemannian manifold endowed on the tangent bundle with the Colombeau distributional metric tensor. The aim. The development of new physical interpretation for the distributional curvature scalar (Rε( )r )ε and square scalar (Rεμν( )r Rμνε, ( )r )ε, (Rερσμν( )r Rρδμνε, ( )r )εis aimed. Results. The Schwarzschild solution using Colombeau distributional geometry without leaving Schwarzschild coordinates (t r, , ,θϕ) is studied. We obtain that the distributional Ricci tensor and the curvature scalar are δ-type, (R rε( ))ε=−m rδ( − 2m) ,>0 . The practical value. As distributional square scalars are essentially nonclassical Colombeau type distributions: (Rεμν( )r Rμνε, ( )r )ε, (Rερσμν( )r Rρσμνε, ( )r )ε∈(3 )\ ′(3 ), this provides a new physical interpretation for the distributional curvature scalar (R rε( ))ε and square scalars (Rεμν( )r Rμνε, ( )r )ε, (Rερσμν( )r Rρδμνε, ( )r )ε.

Consequences of the existence of conformal vector fields in (locally) symmetric and conformal symmetric spaces, have been obtained. An attempt has been made for a physical interpretation of the consequences in the framework of general relativity.

In this paper, we give a correct interpretation of a historical experiment by Kündig on the transverse Doppler shift in a rotating system (Mössbauer rotor experiment). This experiment has been recently first reanalyzed, and then replied by an experimental research group. The results of reanalyzing the experiment have shown that a correct re-processing of Kündig’s experimental data gives an interesting deviation of a relative redshift between emission and absorption resonant lines from the standard prediction based on the relativistic dilatation of time. Subsequent new experimental results by the reply of Kündig experiment have shown a deviation from the standard prediction even higher. By using the Equivalence Principle (EP), which states the equivalence between the gravitational “force” and the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a noninertial frame of reference (included a rotating frame of reference), here the theoretical framework of the Mössbauer rotor experiment is reanalyzed directly in the rotating frame of reference through a general relativistic treatment. It will be shown that previous analyses missed an important effect of clock synchronization. By adding this new effect, the correct general relativistic prevision is in perfect agreement with the new experimental results. Such an effect of clock synchronization has been missed in various papers in the literature, with some subsequent claim of invalidity of the relativity theory and/or some attempts to explain the experimental results through “exotic” effects. The general relativistic interpretation in this paper shows, instead that the new experimental results of the Mössbauer rotor experiment are a new, strong and independent proof of general relativity.

Abstract The concepts of force and energy are analyzed in the context of state and process equations. In chronological order, the application of the cause-effect principle in process equations is studied in mechanics, thermodynamics, special relativity, general relativity, and quantum theory. The differences in the fundamental approaches to nature and the significance of a consistent physical interpretation of formulas and state variables are emphasized. It is shown that the first origins for the crisis of modern theoretical physics are to be found in the concepts of force and energy in mechanics, which partly violate the cause-effect principle. This affects all theories based on mechanics and underlines their historical conditionality. The systematic application of driving forces and the cause-effect principle in process equations suggests a return to causal realistic physics. It meets the wave character of matter, is compatible with the experiment, and allows a unified description of interaction.

The recent detections of gravitational waves from binary systems of black holes are in remarkable agreement with the predictions of General Relativity. In this pedagogical mini-review, I go through the physics of the different phases of the evolution of black hole binary systems, providing a qualitative physical interpretation of each one of them. I also briefly describe how these phases would be modified if gravitation were described by a theory extending or deforming General Relativity, or if the binary components turned out to be more exotic compact objects than black holes.
