固体潮观测确定引力相互作用传播速度与光速相同

Solid Tide Observations Confirm That the Gravitational Interaction Speed Is the Same as the Speed of Light

摘要: 万有引力定律不含时间，不少人认为是超距作用理论，引力可瞬间传播。狭义相对论指出，光速是物理作用速度上限。科学家一直在寻找测量引力速度方法。2012年11月《科学通报》报道中国科学家用重力固体潮观测数据，在时间域分析，得出引力光速传播的结论。本文从重力固体潮理论、计算、天体位置确定等方面，指出固体潮理论隐含引力速度与光速相同。由固体潮观测值与理论值符合，可得出引力相互作用传播速度与光速相同。本文根据武汉站超导重力仪长序列数据分离出月亮M2波和太阳S2波相对于理论值的相位差均接近于零，符合固体潮理论的结果，再次得到引力以光速传播结论。由日月位置须作光行差校正的天文常规操作，从逻辑上可得出：引力相互作用传播速度必定与光速相同。

Abstract: The law of universal gravity does not contain time. It has been regarded as a theory of action of distance by mainstream physics which means gravity can be transmitted instantaneously. The special theory of relativity indicates that the speed of light is the upper limit of all physical effects. Scientists have been looking forward to finding ways to measure gravitational speed. November 2012, “Science Bulletin” published “by the solid tide found gravity at the speed of light transmission of observation evidence”, reported that Chinese scientists with gravity solid tide observation data, in the time domain analysis, obtained the conclusion that gravitational propagation at the speed of light. In this paper, from the aspects of the theory of gravity tide, calculation, and determination of celestial body position, it is pointed out that the theory of earth tide implies that the speed of gravity is the same as the speed of light. Since the observed values of the earth tide agree with the theoretical values, it can be concluded that the velocity of the gravitational interaction is the same as the speed of light. According to the long sequence data of the superconducting gravimeter in Wuhan station, the phase difference between the moon M2 and the sun S2 with respect to the theoretical value is close to zero, which is consistent with the results of the earth tide theory. Again, the conclusion that gravitation is transmitted at the speed of light is obtained. The normal astronomical operation of correction of optical annual aberrations from the sun and the moon position indicates logically that the velocity of gravity interaction must be the same as the speed of light.
