Abstract: | Recently a new type of gravitational coupling due to a gravo-inductive force field generated by mass currents was introduced to account for constant rotation velocities at large distances from galactic cores. It is pointed out that the exact analogy with electromagnetism assumed in postulating this force would for reason of consistency imply a vanishingly small coupling rather than the anomalously large coupling required. The gravo-inductive radiation is compared with gravitational radiation for its role in the damping of the motion of bound systems. |
