- 130 -Without wishing to criticize the orthodox relativistictreatnent, It nevertheless seems to be fair comment to ask whyGerber's basic proposition is ignored. Though he made an error inhis analysis, that error did not nullify what he said from aqualitative viewpoint and a quantitative correction still left aperihelion advance that is ignored in presenting the General <strong>The</strong>ory<strong>of</strong> Relativity.<strong>The</strong> fact that Gerber's work is Ignored has to mean that thetheory <strong>of</strong> relativity does not concern itself with the retardedtransfer <strong>of</strong> energy in the gravitational field. This, <strong>of</strong> course, isa very interesting point when we are considering physicalinterpretations.It is, incidentally, <strong>of</strong> interest to take note that Gerber's 1898treatnent <strong>of</strong> the perihelion motion <strong>of</strong> Mercury was the subject <strong>of</strong> afurther paper i71 expressly published in the same Journal asEinstein's famous General Relativity paper shortly after thatappeared. Gerber's physical explanation for the anomalousperihelion advance is firmly <strong>of</strong> record in a contemporaryassociation with the Einstein paper and attracted rapid feedback inthe same Journal, so there is no Justifiable excuse for it beingignored by science philosophers and historians.<strong>The</strong> recent Aspect experiments C8] that support action-at-adistanceeffects in quantum mechanics have given Impetus to theidea that force asserted by a field could be an action <strong>of</strong> nonretardedpotential in both gravitational and electrodynamicinteractions. <strong>The</strong>n, when two Interacting particles are in relativemotion, there is energy redeployment which causes some <strong>of</strong> thepotential to act from a field position that is a function <strong>of</strong> themotion. <strong>The</strong> energy in transit will neither be the primary potentialnor the kinetic energy <strong>of</strong> the particles, but it could assertaction-at-a-dlstance effects on a par with potential energy butfrom Its distributed position. In other words, the distortion <strong>of</strong>the space metric that we see as the 4-space <strong>of</strong> Einstein's theory
