This paper uses the Schwarzschild metric to derive an effective refractive index and acceleration vector that account for relativistic deflection of light rays, in an otherwise classical kinematic framework. The new refractive index and the…
We develop the General Theory of Relativity in a formalism with extended causality that describes physical interaction through discrete, transversal and localized pointlike fields. The homogeneous field equations are then solved for a…
We consider solutions of the Einstein equations with cosmological constant $\Lambda\neq 0$ admitting conformal compactification with smooth scri $\mathscr{I^+}$. Metrics are written in the Bondi-Sachs coordinates and expanded into inverse…
Geodesic orbit equations in the Schwarzschild geometry of general relativity reduce to ordinary conic sections of Newtonian mechanics and gravity for material particles in the non-relativistic limit. On the contrary, geodesic orbit…
