对引力探测器-B实验结果的质疑

    A Question on Gravity Probe B Experiment Results

    • 摘要: 对美国宇航局(NASA)2011年5月4日公布的引力探测-B(GP-B)检验广义相对论实验的最终结果提出了质疑.根据GP-B实验传感装置具有关于卫星自转轴的对称性这一事实指出,其所测量的引力场几何效应的实验误差应该与地球自转引力牵连效应的实验误差十分接近,然而,NASA所公布的结果中前者却是后者的2.5倍;因此认为,这可能表明GP-B在对实验数据处理上至少还有某些物理机制尚未考虑充分.

       

      Abstract: The final results of the Gravity Probe B (GP-B) experiment for testing general relativity (GR) theory published on May 4,2011 by NASA is somewhat controversial.Since GP-B scientific sensors have symmetric property about the satellite spin axis,the author believes the measurement errors of both the geodetic effect and the frame-dragging effect should be close to each other.However,in the published results,the former is 2.5 times of the latter,which has not been explained by GP-B final report and thus shows that some physics is probably still missing or inadequately addressed in processing experimental data.
