Abstract

Using Newtonian theory of gravitation and postulating the existence of informational waves of gravitation, a time-varying gravitational potential is obtained. When a point mass is submitted to such a potential a precession of its orbit, of the right order of magnitude, is obtained. The correct value of the angle of deflexion of light by massive bodies can also be calculated.
