Relativistic Gravitational Potential Energy And General Free Fall: A Fundamental Topic In Physics, Jorge A. Franco
Relativistic Gravitational Potential Energy And General Free Fall: A Fundamental Topic In Physics, Jorge A. Franco
Jorge A Franco
In this paper, we derived expressions of the relativistic potential energy for radial, circular and general curvilinear motion of a mass under the influence of a gravitational field, and the equivalence relationship between velocity and radius in each case. Also it was obtained the influence of altitude on time, mass, length and other physical magnitudes for circular and general curvilinear motion, and for the static case or radial.

In this work the main conceptual errors that sequentially were introduced in the development of the Special Theory of Relativity (SR) are explained. A simple presentation of the Lorentz Transformations (LT) is given, within where it is emphasized that, by using an incomplete configuration, repeated by more than one hundred years, it leads to a first error of a chain of them, when it is assumed that the cross sectional components, in the movable inertial reference system, are invariant or not affected by its relative movement respect a fixed inertial system, on the basis of a presumed “postulate of isotropy“ …
