Do these gravitational waves affect the cesium atom clocks?

The recent detection of gravitation waves (GW) from the merger of two black holes of about thirty solar-masses each with the ground-based LIGO facility has ... read more

De Broglie pilot wave theory can explain Hafele-Keating experiment. When Cesium atom in an atomic clock (in air-craft) moves relative to the observer on the surface of the earth, it develops a resultant pilot wave with respect to the observor and in the direction of the velocity of the air-craft. read more

The gravitational interaction energy between the atoms is far too small to excite the electrons of either atom, since they are in their ground states as they begin to approach each other. This energy is easy to estimate theoretically from the 31 pm radius of a helium atom, the mass of a helium atom, and Newton's universal law of gravitation. read more
