Torsionslehre
Torsionslehre, often translated as "torsion theory" or "theory of torsion," is a concept within the framework of Einstein's theory of general relativity that considers the possibility of spacetime possessing intrinsic angular momentum. In the standard formulation of general relativity, spacetime is described solely by its curvature, which is linked to the distribution of mass and energy. Torsionslehre extends this by proposing that spacetime can also have a "twist" or "torsion," which is independent of curvature and related to the intrinsic angular momentum of matter, specifically spin.
The mathematical framework for incorporating torsion is often found in theories like Einstein-Cartan theory. This theory
While mathematically consistent, the experimental verification of torsion remains a significant challenge. The effects of torsion
