Post Newtonian gravity, a new simpler approach

Basics of post Newtonian gravity- a new simpler approach

“…This is the opposite effect to that of mass particles. 3 The de Sitter, or Geodetic, effect agrees with the accepted results of analysis whether algebraically or by numerical integration for two body systems or large non-rotating bodies. However, for rotating bodies the Lense-Thirring, or Frame Dragging, terms there is an unresolved factor of two which affects both nodal and pericentre precession.…”

“…Also c is the speed of light in a gravity free vacuum. More information in reference, 1 See also the Addendum. This equation will be considered to be the basic for Post Newtonian Gravity.…”

“…However, the geodetic term is two thirds of the published value. 5 It has proved to be impossible, so far, to find any modification to the basic equation such that it gives the generally accepted value for the Lense-Thirring effect without changing the de Sitter effect applications. The de Sitter results have been obtained by several observations but the Lense-Thirring effect is very small compared to other effects.…”
