Abstract
The design of a large ring laser gyroscope with the record sensitivity to variations in the rotation speed and angular inclinations of the laboratory base surface, as well as to the rotational asymmetry of the refractive index of the optical medium, including vacuum is presented. Such an instrument placed in an underground observatory will allow one to obtain information relevant to particle physics, quantum field theory, laser physics, astrometry, global geodynamics, and seismology. In addition, it can be applied to forecast global cataclysms such as earthquakes. As a practical step to support the project, the results of trial experiments with a small-sized laser gyroscope (LG) are presented.
