Gravitation and Spacetime Model

摘要

We start with some considerations that show that the space-time model of the Special Theory of Relativity must be extended so that the physical phenomena associated with gravitation can be explained. We first revisit the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass and show that clocks slow down in the Newtonian gravitational field.
