M g = n g2 mi 0(min ) Finally, by substituting

given by Eq. (43) into the

relativistic expression of M g , we readily obtain

By replacing M i into the differential equation above by the expression given by Eq. (46), and expanding in power series, neglecting infinitesimals, we arrive, at:

By expanding in power series and neglecting infinitesimals, we arrive at: 2

as follows:

Thus, the well-known expression for the simple pendulum

(Mi Mg)(l g) , can be rewritten in the following

M g = 1−

Then, we arrive at the conclusion that all these experiments say nothing in regard to the relativistic behavior of masses in relative motion. Let us now consider a planet in the Sun’s gravitational field to which, in the absence of external forces, we apply Lagrange’s equations. We arrive at the well-known equation: 2 2 2GM i ⎛ dr ⎞ 2 ⎛ dϕ ⎞

2 2 2GM g 2GM g ⎛ dr ⎞ 2 ⎛ dϕ ⎞ =E + ⎜ ⎟ +r ⎜ ⎟ − r r ⎝ dt ⎠ ⎝ dt ⎠

Since

smaller than the accuracy of the mentioned experiments. The Newton’s experiments have been improved upon (one part in 60,000) by Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1784–1846). In 1890, Eötvos confirmed Newton’s results with accuracy of 7 one part in 10 . Posteriorly, the Eötvos experiment has been

repeated with accuracy of one part in 10 . In 1963, the experiment was repeated with an even greater accuracy, one 11 part in 10 . The result was the same previously obtained. 2 In all these experiments, the ratio V 2c 2 is less than 10

Calculating per century, in the case of Mercury, we arrive at an angle 43” for the perihelion advance. This result is the best theoretical proof of the accuracy of Eq. (45). Let us now consider another consequence of the existence of correlation between
