Showing papers on "Geodesic deviation published in 1987"

Is the description of the gravitational force as a manifestation of deviation of a body from the geodesic the correct interpretation of the general relativity theory

Abstract: A deeper analysis connected to general relativity is presented, considering dynamics of a solid body in a gravitational field. Two basic situations are described: namely, the case of weightlessness in free fall, and that when a solid body at rest relative to the source of the gravitational field has weight. Finally, the principle of equivalence is reformulated.
