The special theory of relativity in a gravitational field

Author

Masayuki Note

Abstract

"A theory is presented which generalizes the special theory of relativity to an acceleration field. The theory is based on the re-interpretation of linear motion as an acceleration field and is applied to a gravitational field. It is shown that the theory explains the precession of Mercury's perihelion and the deflection of light near the sun"-- Abstract, p. iv
