Newtonian gravitation in Maxwell spacetime.
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, 2023 This paper argues for the appropriateness of Maxwell spacetime as the minimal spacetime structure in which one may formulate a theory of Newtonian gravity.

On Gravitational Energy in Newtonian Theories [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2017 There are well-known problems associated with the idea of (local) gravitational energy in general relativity. We offer a new perspective on those problems by comparison with Newtonian gravitation, and particularly geometrized Newtonian gravitation (i.e.,

Squashing and spaghettification in Newtonian gravitation [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2020 Action films and sci-fi novels should be common resources in classrooms since they serve as examples and references involving physical situations. This is due to the abstract nature of many physical concepts, and the lack of references in students’ daily

What Is a Singularity in Geometrized Newtonian Gravitation? [PDF]
Philosophy of Science, 2013 I discuss singular space-times in the context of the geometrized formulation of Newtonian gravitation. I argue first that geodesic incompleteness is a natural criterion for when a model of geometrized Newtonian gravitation is singular, and then I show ...

On the Newtonian Constant of Gravitation [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. (A.), 1896 III.FIG. 8 is a view of the apparatus with the optical compass in position, and with the microscopes focussed upon the wires. They are then ready to be withdrawn by the focussing slide, so as to transfer the distances directly to the small glass scale ...

Asymmetrical tidal tails of open star clusters: stars crossing their cluster's prah challenge Newtonian gravitation [PDF]
, 2022 After their birth a significant fraction of all stars pass through the tidal threshold (práh) of their cluster of origin into the classical tidal tails. The asymmetry between the number of stars in the leading and trailing tails tests gravitational theory.

On the Status of Newtonian Gravitational Radiation [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2021 AbstractWe discuss the status of gravitational radiation in Newtonian theories. In order to do so, we (i) consider various options for interpreting the Poisson equation as encoding propagating solutions, (ii) reflect on the extent to which limit considerations from general relativity can shed light on the Poisson equation’s conceptual status, and (iii)

Relativistic theory of the gravitation for Modified Newtonian Dynamics
Revista de Investigación de Física, 2023 Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a hypothesis that proposes a modification of Newton's law of universal gravitation to account for observed properties of galaxies. This theory is an alternative to the hypothesis of dark matter in terms of explaining

The Newtonian Constant of Gravitation [PDF]
Nature, 1894 I SHOULD be obliged if you would allow me to make a correction in my lecture at the Royal Institution, published in NATURE, Aug. 2, 9, and 23, on page 331. I have stated that in pieces of apparatus geometrically similar but of different dimensions, the disturbances due to uncertain convection currents are likely to be in the proportion of the seventh ...

Nonlocal Gravity: Modification of Newtonian Gravitational Force in the Solar System
Universe, 2022 Nonlocal gravity (NLG) is a classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein’s theory of gravitation developed in close analogy with the nonlocal electrodynamics of media.
