Exact 'antigravity-field' solutions of Einstein's equation
Abstract
Description
Exact time-dependent solutions of Einstein's gravitational field equation for a spherical mass moving with arbitrarily high constant velocity are derived and analyzed. The threshold conditions required for gravitational repulsion of particles at rest are determined as a function of source speed and field strength and particle position.
