Testing angular momentum effects on the space time

Abstract

The paper contains a proposed experiment for testing the angular momentum effect on the propagation of light around a rotating mass. The idea is to use a rotating spherical laboratory-scale shell, around which two mutually orthogonal light guides are wound acting as the arms of an interferometer. Numerical estimates show that time of flight differences between the equatorial and polar guides could be in the order of 10-20 s per loop. Using a few thousands loops the time difference is brought in the range of feasible interference measurements.
