Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. His general theory of relativity, published in 1915, is the basis of modern physics and explains the force of gravity in modern physics. It relies on curved spacetime, using energy and momentum tensors (mathematical structures) to describe how energy and momentum are distributed in spacetime and interact with gravitational fields. In Einstein’s theory of gravity, the energy-momentum tensor is believed to be unchanged or conserved. However, a Russian scientist challenged this law of conservation and proposed a new theory of gravity.
Traditional theory of relativity has limitations, especially at high energy levels where the so-called non-renormalizability problem occurs. This means that mathematical flaws appear that cannot be removed.
Hamidreza Fazlollahi, a graduate student at RUDN University’s Institute of Gravitational Cosmology Education Sciences, claims to have found a solution to this problem with a new theory that rivals Einstein’s.
“The problem of nonrenormalizability of Einstein’s gravity is well known. This problem led to dozens of attempts to treat it as a low-energy theory. For example, in string theory, Einstein’s classical equations It’s just the first term in an infinite series, the gravitational correction,” Fazlollahi said. stated in the press release.
“Therefore, within the event horizon of high energies and/or black holes, space-time curvature and gravity can deviate from Einstein’s general theory of relativity. This can be explained in various ways. But in any case “Even though the law of conservation of energy and momentum can be violated at high energy levels,” he further stated.
In his new gravity model, the researchers started from the so-called Gibbs-Duhem relation, used in thermodynamics to describe changes in systems.
The resulting equations are similar to Einstein’s, but include unique coefficients and constants that take into account temperature entropy and charge interaction dynamics.
Fazlollahi’s model is an important step in understanding gravity, especially in extreme conditions, and could open the way to new insights into the mysteries of the universe. The consistency of this model with experimental data suggests that it could be a valuable tool for future research in astrophysics and cosmology.
