'''Francis X. Vacanti''' is a researcher known for published work challenging aspects of general relativity's treatment of gravitational energy. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />
<br />
==Work==<br />
Vacanti co-authored papers with J. Chauveheid in the journal ''Physics Essays'' arguing for a "Maxwell-like" theory of gravitation. In "Is Radiation of Negative Energy Possible?" (''Physics Essays'', Vol. 15, No. 4, 2002) the authors contend that, contrary to general relativity, a Maxwell-like theory implies negative gravitational energy in vacuum and in gravitational waves, and they argue that general relativity should exhibit this negativeness in order to recover Newtonian gravity as a first approximation. A related paper, "A new proposal for gravitational radiation" (''Physics Essays'', 2001), addresses magneto-gravitation and the possibility of negative energy for gravity waves. These proposals fall outside the mainstream framework of general relativity.<br />
