Cosmographic Hubble fits to the supernova data

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of interrelated cosmographic fits to the supernova data sets were performed, and the authors concluded that the "preponderance of evidence" for an accelerating universe cannot be supported beyond reasonable doubt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fundamental limitations on 'warp drive' spacetimes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a more modest question and apply linearized gravity to the weak-field warp drive, testing the energy conditions to first and second orders of the warp-bubble velocity, v c, and find that the occurrence of significant energy condition violations is not just a high-speed effect but that the violations persist even at arbitrarily low speeds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conservation Laws in "Doubly Special Relativity"

TL;DR: In this article, Amelino-Camelia and Smolin and Magueijo proposed doubly special Relativity theories (DSR1 and DSR2), which differ from Lorentz invariance.

Analogue models of and for gravity

TL;DR: Condensed matter systems, such as acoustics in flowing fluids, light in moving dielectrics, or quasiparticles in a moving superfluid, can be used to mimic aspects of general relativity as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass for the graviton

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative to Einstein Gravity that satisfies the equivalence principle and automatically passes all classical weak-field tests (GM/r approx 10^{-6}) was presented.
