5D gravity and the discrepant G measurements

  • Conference paper
The Gravitational Constant: Generalized Gravitational Theories and Experiments

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 141))

  • 209 Accesses

Abstract

It is shown that 5D Kaluza-Klein theory stabilized by an external bulk scalar field may solve the discrepant laboratory G measurements. This is achieved by an effective coupling between gravitation and the geomagnetic field. Experimental considerations are also addressed.
