Abstract.In this work, we study the magnetic effects of gravity in the framework of special relativity. Imposing covariance of the gravitational force with respect to the Lorentz transformations, we show from a thought experiment that a magnetic-like force must be present whenever two or more bodies are in motion. The exact expression for this gravitomagnetic force is then derived purely from special relativity and the consequences of such a covariant theory are developed. For instance, we show…

This section examines the experimental basis of Einstein's theory of gravitation, and the principle of equivalence, which is expressed in the following way: all observations made locally on a system in a static, uniform gravitational field in the absence of local background matter agree with corresponding observations made on the same system when it is subjected to an equivalent acceleration in the presence of the field.
