Abstract

The purpose of this article is to establish a relation between two gravitational anomalies: one that has attracted part of the scientific community, the Allais effect that occurs during solar eclipse; the other, noticed but forgotten by the whole scientific community, the General Relativity’s residual arc of the curvature of rays of light in the solar gravitational field during the same eclipse. There is a systematically observed deflection about 10% larger than the theoretical value of General Relativity, which coincides with the “eclipse effect” found by Maurice Allais, thrown aside because it upsets the established truths. These corresponding anomalies were never explained by any theories and turn out to be new gravitational physics.

Highlights

Based on the equivalence principle, Einstein revealed a deep relation of gravity to the geometry of spacetime

We present from the outset the Allais effect, first reported in 1954 by Maurice Allais, which is an anomalous precession of the plane of oscillation of a paraconical pendulum during a solar eclipse

Summary

Introduction

Based on the equivalence principle, Einstein revealed a deep relation of gravity to the geometry of spacetime. General Relativity (GR) has undergone an impressive series of confirmations mostly regarding “strong” fields. In “weak” fields where GR does not distinguish from the Newtonian limit, there are unexplained phenomena like galaxy rotation curves, the Pioneer anomaly. There is little direct evidence that conventional theories of gravity are correct on large scales. R. Bagdoo number of results where these theories run into problems, such as the unexpected secular increase of the Astronomical Unit or the abnormal change in acceleration for flybys of spacecraft. We emphasize the scientific aspect of peculiar movements exhibited by an anisotropic paraconical pendulum at the time of a solar eclipse in 1954
