Scientific paper

It is shown that a material with sufficiently large elastic shear modulus or shear viscosity will act like a gravitational conductor or 'metal'. It will reflect gravitational waves, and it can be used to make gravitational waveguides and circuits. Unlike electromagnetism, a gravitational wave can be guided by a single conductor in transverse mode. Gravitational conductors can obey the dominant energy condition, and they can be larger than their Schwarzschild radius, but they must violate a new condition that is probably satisfied by all existing forms of matter. Direct-current gravitational circuits, although limits of guided gravitational waves, have a simple Newtonian interpretation.
