What is Linearized Gravitation Theory in Macroscopic Media about?
The refraction of gravitational waves is discussed by developing a macroscopic theory of gravitation along the lines of classical electromagnetism. It is shown that the linearized Bianchi identities may be expressed in a form which is suggestive of Maxwell's equations with magnetic monopoles. The medium is then assumed to be corpuscular in structure and it is shown how, on performing an averaging process on the field quantities, the Bianchi identities must be modified by the inclusion of polarization terms resulting from the induction of quadrupole moments on the individual "molecules." A model of a medium whose molecules are harmonic oscillators is discussed and constitutive equations are derived. Gravitational waves are demonstrated to slow down in such a medium.
