Abstract

We base the present approach, on an alternative theory of gravitation, consisting essentially on the law of energy conservation broadened to embody the mass & energy equivalence of the Special Theory of Relativity, and remedying, known problems and incompatibilities, associated with the actually reigning conception. The mere rotation problem of say, a sphere, can well be undertaken, along the same idea. Accordingly, we consider the problem of gravity created by a rotating celestial body. Finally we apply our results to the case of a geosynchronous satellite, which is, schematically speaking, nothing but a clock placed on a considerably high tower. The approach ironically furnishes the Newton’s law of motion, which however we derive, based on just static forces, and not an acceleration, governing a motion. There is anyway no motion for a geosynchronous satellite, when observed from Earth. We predict accordingly that, the blue shift of light from a geosynchronous satellite on an orbit of radius rGs should be softened as much as ω 2 /2c 2 r 2 Gs − R 2 as compared to what is expected classically; here ω Earth’s self rotation angular momentum, R Earth’s radius, and c the speed of light in empty space. We hope, the validity of this unforeseen prediction, can soon be checked out.
