ON A MECHANICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE NULL GEO-DESICS IN STATIC EINTEIN-RIEMANN SPACES

Abstract

Normal trajectories are applied to any moving, two-dimensional surface which carries a mechanical disturbance through a material body which are projections into that body of light rays in an Einstein-Riemann space whose local velocity of light is equal to the normal velocity of the surface through the material body at corresponding points.
