ABSTRACT

The atomic frequency increases in the field of gravity. This is the hypothesis of the Effect of Soloshenko-Yanchilin. The authors propose a crucial physical experiment with two high precision atomic clocks to verify their hypothesis. The authors provide the official prize for the competent disproof of the Effect of Soloshenko-Yanchilin before the experiment, the necessary materials are in Russian Academy of Sciences. $ 100 000 will be paid to any person who will disprove the effect. To get $ 100 000 see the contacts in the end of this scientific paper – you have to send by e-mail and post the competent scientific disproof in case you have it.

1. Our challenge to an Intellectual battle to scientific community

The main goal of this article is to initiate a public scientific discussion, and to make a formal challenge to science community (to the official scientific institutions of the leading countries, as well as to separate and independent intellectuals and professional physicists) to an intellectual battle on the question of the atomic frequency in the gravitational field (the rate of time in the field of gravity). This challenge is made by the Russian scientific research group (Soloshenko M.V. and Yanchilin V.L.). This challenge was sent as an official appeal to the leading research centers, including the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The scientists carried out a joint theoretical discovery of the hypothetical Effect of Soloshenko-Yanchilin (ESY), and offer the scientist community to rebut their hypothesis or to support their position for carrying out a physical experiment. In case of the competent disproof providing 100 % scientific certainty (that the Effect of Soloshenko-Yanchilin is false) the authors will pay $ 100 000 a person (an institution) that will make such disproof. 100 % scientific certainty means that the scientist who disproves ESY gives physical facts as the evidence of his position. The ignoring of this publication of our challenge will prove that the official scientific community is afraid of intellectual competition from independent scientists, and is not ready to accept the challenge to the intellectual fight, even if the challenge concerns the fundamental physical question.

According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity (GTR), when considering the phenomenon of gravitation, it is postulated that the atomic frequency decreases in the field of gravity, in other words, time slows down near a massive body (due to the curvature of space-time). GTR postulates time dilation with the increase of the gravitational potential (of its absolute value), the so-called postulate about the temporal process. The theoretical discovery of ESY predicts the opposite phenomenon – the atomic frequency increases in the field of gravity, that means that there is the acceleration of time in the gravitational field (acceleration of the rate of time of an atomic clock, i.e. the frequency of atomic oscillations, with the increase in the gravitational potential). The authors argue that the postulate about the temporal process still does not have a satisfactory experimental verification and that all the experiments described in various scientific publications are indirect. The scientists are ready to pay for their initiative (in case the discovery is false) financially and ready to put at the stake their scientific reputation and money.

The essence of the challenge to the intellectual duel, but not the answer to our challenge, is quite simple. If you put the quantum events generators (the high-precision atomic clocks) on the floors of a high tower (building) – for example, on the floor A (top clock) and floor B (bottom clock). What will happen to the value of the atomic oscillations on the floors (what will be the effect of gravity) when you compare the readings of the clocks after a period of cumulative measurement? Einstein's general relativity predicts that B<A (dilation, deceleration of time, i.e. time slows down in the gravitational field). ESY predicts that B>A (acceleration of time, i.e. time accelerates in the field of gravity). Only a direct comparison of the clocks readings might be a physical fact (direct physical evidence) proving what the relation is between gravitation and the rate of time in the field of gravity.

The only experiment on the direct comparison of the clocks readings, which is described in the refereed scientific publications, was carried out in the United States (Hafele-Keating experiment - JC Hafele & Richard E. Keating, 1971 - during the Cold War, the atomic clocks readings on aircraft were compared with the readings of the atomic clock on Earth), and we argue that the accuracy of the clocks was not sufficient to confirm dilation of time in the field of gravity - in spite of its publication in Science the result of this experiment did not provide the valid value. Since then, it took almost 50 years, but there is no substantial progress in understanding of gravity and gravity control technology to be created. We insist that ESY is true, that the physical experiment (according to our project) will prove it and we know how to use ESY to control gravity (see project in detail www.is-si.ru/acceleration-of-time-in-gravity.pdf).

Although this paper is not supposed to discuss the new theory in detail (www.is-si.ru/gravitation-and-time.pdf) before the experimental results to be at our disposal (our challenge concerns the question whether ESY is true or false with 100 % scientific certainty), just for the reference we have to make a brief review of the new theory basic elements, and then we provide arguments in favor of our position on the issue of the challenge.
