Einstein’s Spook

Authors: Paul R. Gerber

The common tests of the weak equivalence principle not only deal with the acceleration of masses, but include, in principle, the simultaneously occurring emission of a gravitational wave, even when it is far too small to be observable. Einstein’s ‘extension’ of the weak equivalence principle ignores this tiny effect, and thus, corresponds to postulating a instantaneous action at arbitrary distances, and consequently, implies the absence of gravitational waves in the theory of general relativity.
