Comment on the Paper “Can Observations Inside the Solar System Reveal the Gravitational Properties of the Quantum Vacuum?”

Authors: M.E.Hassani

In a recent paper of D.S. Hajdukovic (Astrophys. Space Sci. 343, 505, 2013), it is hypothetically claimed that “the quantum vacuum induces a retrograde precession of the perihelion and the Newton’s force of gravity might be accompanied with a tiny radial force that is a signature of the quantum vacuum”. However, the present paper argues that the quantum vacuum cannot really be the causal origin of the extra-gravitational effects and the additional radial acceleration and force are in fact a sort of the gravitational induction due to the relative motion of the test-body in the vicinity of the principal gravitational source.
