dc.descriptionI show that the precession of the orbit of Mercury and the deflection of starlight by the Sun are effects of special relativity alone when the gravitational field of a particle is treated in the same way as the electric field of a charged particle . General relativity is not needed to explain them.
dc.description5 pages, added section on gravitational redshift for referee
