It is shown that, contrary to what is normally expected, it is possible to have angular-momentum effects on the geometry of space-time at the laboratory scale, much bigger than the purely Newtonian effects. This is due to the fact that the ratio between the angular momentum of a body and its mass, expressed as a length, is easily greater than the mass itself, again expressed as a length.

An Approximated Solution of the Einstein Equations for a Rotating Body with Negligible Mass
The paper considers the problem of finding the metric of space time around a rotating, weakly gravitating body. Both external and internal metric tensors are consistently found, together with an…
Light deflection and time delay in the gravitational field of a spinning mass
In this paper we consider the possibility of measuring the corrections induced by the square of the parameter a_g of the Kerr metric to the general relativistic deflection of electromagnetic waves…
Some Comments on a Recently Derived Approximated Solution of the Einstein Equations for a Spinning Body with Negligible Mass
Recently, an approximated solution of the Einstein equations for a rotating body whose mass effects are negligible with respect to the rotational ones has been derived by Tartaglia. At first sight,…
On the Lense-Thirring test with the Mars Global Surveyor in the gravitational field of Mars
I discuss some aspects of a recent frame-dragging test performed by exploiting the Root-Mean-Square (RMS) orbit-overlap differences of the out-of-plane component (N) of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)…

Electromagnetic Theory
THE basis of Mr. Heaviside's treatise is the inter-linked magnetic and electric circuits. This is taken from Maxwell, but it is much more fully developed, and the analogy between the electric and…
