Zur Variation der Gravitationsbechleunigung.
Abstract
Some general theoretical considerations on relativistic variation in the earth's effective gravitational mass are discussed. The variation only amounts to 5 times 10 to the minus 10th power per year, or 10 to the minus 7th power over 8 years. The analysis makes reference to the Mach principle, to the Einstein equivalence principle, and to a new reference tetrad theory of gravitation. It is concluded that these variations, though small, should have geodynamic consequences.
