The Gravitational Probe B Boondoggle

Einstein's theory, in its so called weak gravity field linearized version, approximately reduces to Newton's theory. Conflicting linearizations depend on their authors and, are heavily mathematical, involve non-physical geometrical concepts, and rely on Newtonian type tests and results. For example, Einstein's theory does not inform us how, absent force, his warped geometry might actuate Newton's gyroscope. Basically, Einstein tells us that one can ignore Newton's predictions based on Newton'…
