Sagnac Phase

In this paper, some analogies between the Shapiro effect in the solar gravitational field and the Sagnac phase shift have been found. Starting from Einstein equivalence principle (EEP), which states the equivalence between the gravitational force and the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a noninertial frame of reference, we imagine an observer on a rotating platform immersed in a gravitational field. In the Shapiro effect, for example, we know that the speed of an electromagnetic signal, calculated from the Earth, is less than [Formula: see text], but, if we calculate the speed using a clock at rest in the solar gravitational field, where the photon is passing, we get that the speed of light is [Formula: see text]. Similarly, by considering the fictitious gravitational field of the rotating platform, if we look for a clock with respect to which the signal speed is [Formula: see text], we can interpret the time delay as a gravitational effect.

The relative velocity between objects with finite velocity affects the reaction between them. This effect is known as general Doppler effect. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) discovered gravitational waves and found their speed to be equal to the speed of light c. Gravitational waves are generated following a disturbance in the gravitational field; they affect the gravitational force on an object. Just as light waves are subject to the Doppler effect, so are gravitational waves. This article explores the following research questions concerning gravitational waves: What is the spatial distribution of gravitational waves? Can the speed of a gravitational wave represent the speed of the gravitational field (the speed of the action of the gravitational field upon the object)? What is the speed of the gravitational field? Do gravitational waves caused by the revolution of the Sun affect planetary precession? Can we modify Newton’s gravitational equation through the influence of gravitational waves?

Shapiro Effect

Based on the proposed differential equations of the interaction of the electric signal with the gravitational field, the observed phenomena are known as the gravitational lens and the Shapiro effect are investigated. The deflection of a light ray in the field of the Sun is simulated. It is shown that a moving photon undergoes in the gravitational field not only a transverse action, which causes a curvature of the trajectory but also a longitudinal one, implementing the acceleration-braking processes. As a result, the instability of the speed of light in a vacuum was revealed.

The Doppler Effect

Abstract For any object with finite velocity, the relative velocity between them will affect the effect between them. This effect can be called the chasing effect (general Doppler effect). LIGO discovered gravitational waves and measured the speed of gravitational waves equal to the speed of light c. Gravitational waves are generated due to the disturbance of the gravitational field, and the gravitational waves will affect the gravitational force on the object. We know that light waves have the Doppler effect, and gravitational waves also have this characteristic. The article studies the following questions around gravitational waves: What is the spatial distribution of gravitational waves? Can the speed of the gravitational wave represent the speed of the gravitational field (the speed of the action of the gravitational field on the object)? What is the speed of the gravitational field? Will gravitational waves caused by the revolution of the sun affect planetary precession?

Earth’S Gravitational Field

We propose the idea of method for observing the effect of the Earth’s gravitational field on the motion of an electron. Earlier attempts to measure such an effect proved unsuccessful due to the fact that under the conductive sheath, the gravitational force acting on the non-relativistic electron is completely compensated by Barnhill–Schiff force. Therefore, experiments of this kind were unable to measure the effect of the Earth’s gravitational field on the motion of electrons. In this paper, we propose to use electrons moving with relativistic speeds in the horizontal plane, and with non-relativistic speeds in the vertical direction, in which case the gravitational force on these electrons is not fully compensated by the Barnhill–Schiff force. Calculations showed that in this case, it is possible to measure the force exerted on an electron by the gravitational field of the Earth.
