A scalar theory of gravitation with a preferred reference frame (PRF) is considered, that accounts for special relativity and reduces to it if the gravitational field cancels. The gravitating system consists of a finite number of…
We use a systolic N-body algorithm to evaluate the linear stability of the gravitational N-body problem for N up to 1.3 x 10^5, two orders of magnitude greater than in previous experiments. For the first time, a clear ~ln N-dependence of…
