Pound–Rebka result within the framework of YARK theory

Abstract

We herein show that the classical Pound–Rebka (P-R) result is furnished within the framework of Yarman–Arik–Kholmetskii gravitation theory, which we will call YARK in short, in terms of the energy shift of resonant γ-radiation under Earth’s gravitational field. Previous successes of YARK in satisfactorily dealing with the precession of the perihelion of Mercury, gravitational redshift, Shapiro delay, lensing effect, anomalous light-bending of gamma quanta, dark energy, accelerated cosmic expansion, analytical derivation of the Hubble constant, and additional time dilation in Mössbauer rotor setups makes it further applicable to past experiments like P-R that has so far been thought to validate the general theory of relativity (GTR). We discuss the P-R outcome of YARK and compare it with what is furnished by GTR.
