Revaluation of Mbelek and Lachièze-Rey scalar-tensor theory of gravitation to explain the measured forces in asymmetric resonant cavities

The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Mbelek and Lachièze-Rey has been previously shown to lead to a possible explanation of the forces measured in asymmetric resonant microwave cavities. However, in the derivation of the equations from the action principle some inconsistencies were ob...

The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Mbelek and Lachièze-Rey has been previously shown to lead to a possible explanation of the forces measured in asymmetric resonant microwave cavities.
