On the energy balance of Newtonian Gravitation

R. Trasarti-Battistoni

Abstract

It is shown that the energy density formulas of Newtonian gravity by Maxwell, Bondi and Ohanian cannot be distinguished by boundary conditions, and also the corresponding energy balances are identical. However, they are not equivalent. From a thermodynamic point of view, the Ohanian energy density is distinguished. --- Source: arXiv:2605.02976v1 - http://arxiv.org/abs/2605.02976v1 PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.02976v1 Original Link: http://arxiv.org/abs/2605.02976v1

However, they are not equivalent. From a thermodynamic point of view, the Ohanian energy density is distinguished.
