The ether theory as implying that electromagnetism is the Newtonian approximation of general relativity
We show first that the Newton approximation (NA) of the Lagrange‐Einstein function of a massive particle m submitted to a Schwarzschild field created by the massive particle
m 0 is of the same form as the Lagrange‐Einstein function of an electric charged particle q submitted
to an electrostatic field due to the immobile electric charged particle q 0
. That is to say that the electrostatic field A 4 ,
S (S for static) is of similar form to a particular gravitational field
G 4 , S . It appears that the Lienard‐Wiechert
potential tensor A μ
, due to the motion of q 0
, that reaches an immobile observation point r ob
, is of the same form as the NA of the gravitational field due to the motion of m 0
that reaches r ob
, this is shown as follows. In a precedent paper, we have shown that to the moving m 0
of velocity V m
0 is associated a globule of limited volume vibrating in the ether and moving there with this velocity. The perturbation caused by this motion
is propagated in the free ether with the velocity c, and is a propagating gravitational field. As we show the NA of this field is a tensor G
μ obtained by applying the Lorenz transformation on
G μ , S for V m 0
constant. It appears that: G μ
is, like A μ
, a Lienard‐Wiechert potential tensor. Furthermore, we show that the ether deformation caused by q
0 is of the same form as that caused by m
0 , and that their interactions are interaction forces.
