Abstract

Relating Newtonian gravity to relativistic theory has been a long-sought query. The accepted definition of Newtonian gravity calculates the magnitude of the attractive force between 2 objects as equal to G (the gravitational constant) multiplied by the product of the masses and divided by the square of the distance between the 2 masses. Applying Lorentz transformations to the variables of mass and distance in the Newtonian relationship allows one to calculate the velocity of the Earth in respect to spacetime expansion and demonstrates that the gravitational constant G varies based upon the respective velocities of the masses in relation to the speed of light. It is shown that G varies between boundary values of 0 and 1. The currently accepted, and calculated measure of G (i.e., G-earth or Ge), is a unique value based upon the velocity of the ‘Earth-local’ masses, including our solar system, which are moving through spacetime at a calculated velocity ranging from ~26 to 5860 km/s, this, as based upon the values used for c and Ge in the quartic model employed.
