A repulsive force in the Einstein theory

Nick Gorkavyi, Alexander Vasilkov

Abstract

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detection of gravitational waves that take away 5 per cent of the total mass of two merging black holes points out on the importance of considering varying gravitational mass of a system in the framework of the Einstein general theory of relativity. We calculate the acceleration of a particle in the non-stationary field of a quasi-spherical system composed of a large number of objects emitting gravitational waves. It is shown that reduction of the gravitational mass of the system due to emitting gravitational waves leads to a repulsive gravitational force that diminishes with time but never disappears. This repulsive force may be related to the observed expansion of the Universe.

    • Even if you wrote in your later replies here that (your words follow) "the math in the original article is more or less solid, no errors were found since publication in 2016" that statement seems quite dishonest, as you also wrote later, as you communicated with me, that you are…
