Comparison of newtonian and special-relativistic trajectories with the general-relativistic trajectory for a low-speed weak-gravity system.
We show, contrary to expectation, that the trajectory predicted by general-relativistic mechanics for a low-speed weak-gravity system is not always well-approximated by the trajectories predicted by special-relativistic and newtonian mechanics for the same parameters and initial conditions. If the s...
