A Proposed New Test of General Relativity and a Possible Solution to the Cosmological Constant Problem
Murat Özer
Abstract
Following a conjecture of Feynman, we explore the possibility that only those energy forms that are associated with (massive or massless) particles couple to the gravitational field, but not others. We propose an experiment to deflect electrons by a small charged sphere to determine if the standard general relativity or this modified one corresponds to reality. The outcome of this experiment may also solve the cosmological constant problem.
