LIGO's "GW150914 signal" reproduced under YARK theory of gravity
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Kholmetskii, A. L.; Yarman, O.; Marchal, C. B.; Arik, M.; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
The widely publicized "GW150914 event" that was recently detected by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration is given as confirmation of gravitational waves (GWs) predicted by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity (GTR), although the extremely weak intensity of this signal does not allow confirmation of all of the specific properties of GWs predicted in GTR. In the present contribution, we provide an alternative explanation of the LIGO signal without GWs under the framework of Yarman-Arik-Kholmetskii (YARK) gravitation theory, which has garnered considerable success during the past years in accounting for landmark astrophysical observations so far thought to confirm GTR, as well as recent laboratory-scale experiments that were shown to be at odds with GTR. According to YARK, the coalescence of super-massive bodies in a distant binary system would induce a related alteration of the wavelength of the laser beam used in the LIGO Michelson-Morley interferometer, as well as the emergence of mechanical stresses in the suspended mirrors. We show that the latter effect turns out to be negligible, and thus, the variation of the phase alone of the laser beam in the output of the Michelson-Morley interferometer suffices to describe the amplitude and the shape of the observed LIGO signal. In addition, the binary merger necessitates a rest mass decrease in YARK (which we calculated to be about 3.1 solar masses on the whole) that we predict should be released via electromagnetic radiation emission according to our theory. We point out that electromagnetic radiation of exactly the same kind is in fact responsible, instead of GWs, for the energy loss in the Hulse-Taylor binary system. Our numerical results thus well match the GW150914 interference pattern without involving any GWs hypothesis.

Quantal Theory of Gravity (QTG): Essential points and implications
(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2023) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, T.; Kholmetskii, A. L.; Arik, M.; Yarman, O.; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
Quantal Theory of Gravity(QTG) is a new undertaking that describes the behavior of projectile-like and wave-like particles in a gravitational field - and, in fact, any field the object at hand interacts with - on the basis of the law of energy conservation. QTG successfully combines metric and dynamical methodologies via a conjoint quantum mechanical formulation. Accordingly, a wave-like test object consisting of a quantal part and a corpuscular part, which start as concentric and identical with regards to their energies, must get torn apart when it engages gravity. Such a test object should then better be treated separately as a two-entity problem. But we nevertheless show that the said problem can be reduced to a single-entity problem. This straightforwardly delivers a new quantal equation of motion, which points to a novel metric expression of space-time wherefrom one can reverse-engineer all of the findings of the past century. Said feature constitutes one of the principal novelties in this contribution. Thus, QTG and the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) yield, within the measurement precision, indistinguishable results for classical problems, except singularities, through though totally different means. What is more, QTG separately explains the propagation of projectile-like objects such as highenergy ?-quanta, in which case, we predict the nullification of gravitational attraction. This constitutes another principal novelty of QTG corroborated by a recent experiment. Finally, we show how GTR could have so successfully coped with the known classically measured results, yet only as a consequence of the quantal application of QTG and its single-entity approach. That constitutes the final and most cardinal novelty we herein bring to attention.
