Abstract
From the example of the motion of Mercury around the Sun it is shown how Newton's theory of gravitation can be modified by taking into consideration the finite velocity of gravitational expansion and the concept of transmission of forces by virtual particles to be able to calculate so-called general relativistic phenomena as the additional motion of Mercury's perihelion, the curvature of a light beam at the surface of the sun, and the phenomena observed at the binary pulsar PSR (Pulsating Source of Radio Emission) 1913+16, maintaining classical conceptions of a Euclidean space and the Galilean principle of relativity. Present day gravitational physics experiences a huge success in obtaining better and better experimental results. In some cases the observations do not fit with the present knowledge of established physics. These phenomena, which can neither be explained by the general relativistic theory of Albert Einstein nor by the Newtonian theory of gravitation, can be explained by the new theory of gravitation of the author, in parts published in former articles of the author in Physics Essays [R. G. Ziefle, Phys. Essays 3, 468 (2003); Phys. Essays 18, 477 (2005)].
