Abstract
I AM not aware that anyone has applied centripetal acceleration to the outstanding Einstein prediction, instead of depending on solar gravitation. It is feasible to whirl a steel disc, I metre in diameter, at 3000 revolutions a minute; and this gives a peripheral acceleration five thousand times earth-gravity, whereas solar-gravity is only 25g.
