GRAVITATION - EXPRESSION IN THE FORM OF MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS.

The links below are to the Sections of the paper on development of the Relativistic Domain theory of gravitation in the form of Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic theory.

Introduction - The first section contains a title page, a brief abstract, and the main introduction.

Maxwell Electrostatic Gravitational Equivalents - Subsequent to a preamble on apsects pertinent to the method, the second section develops the gravitational equivalents to the electrostatic parameters E and D of electromagnetic theory. The equivalents of the conduction and displacement currents are also developed although they do not subsequently appear in the Maxwell gravitation equations.

Maxwell Gravitation Magnetic Equivalents - The gravitational equivalents of the magnetic parameters B and H are discussed in detail here. Via a qualitative analysis of a realistic astronomical situation, these parameters are concluded to not exist in the theory of gravitation. A proposed reason for this is presented subsequently.

Concluding Remarks - The primary content of the Conclusions is a proposed explanation for the non-existence of the B and H gravitational equivalents.

Appendix A - The first Appendix provides the for development of the temporal Acceleration Potential for subsequent comparison with the results obtained in Appendix C.

Appendix B - The second Appendix shows that the curl of both the spatial and temporal Acceleration Potentials is zero.

Appendix C - This Appendix provides a complete solution of the Maxwell gravitation equations, without recourse to previous data, except for the use of two universal constants determined earlier, the gravitational equivalents of e and m, permittivity and permeability. The solutions are shown to be the spatial expansion and temporal velocities of the gravitatinal source. An equivalent Newtonian Potential is also identified in both the spatial external and internal scenarios.

Appendix D - The final Appendix addresses the question of the propogation velocity of gravitational waves, and examines two possible examples. The shock wave produced as a result of a large supernova, and the wave produced by a binary star/planetary system.
