Now, if, µν   , is defined as it is defined in (22) and as-well, µν   , is also defined as it is defined in (20), then a comparision of the individual components of (20) and (22) invariably leads to the following definitions or identification:…”

Gravitomagnetism is universally and formally recognised in contemporary physics as being the linear first-order approximation of Einstein's field equations emerging from the General Theory of Relativity (GTR). Herein, we argue that, as has been done by others in the past, gravitomagnetism can be viewed as a fully-fledged independent theory of gravitomagnetism that can be divorced from Professor Einstein's GTR. The gravitomagnetic theory whose exposition we give herein is exactly envisioned by Professor Maxwell and Dr. Heaviside. The once speculative Maxwell-Heaviside Gravitomagnetic theory now finds full justification as a fully fledged theory from Professor José Hera's Existence Theorem which states that all that is needed for there to exist the four Maxwell-type field equations is that a mass-current conservation law be obeyed. Our contribution in the present work, if any, is that we demonstrate conclusively that like electromagnetism, the gravitomagnetic phenomenon leads to the prediction of gravitomagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light. Further, we argue that for the gravitational phenomenon, apart from the Newtonian gravitational potential, there are four more potentials and these operate concurrently with the Newtonian potential. At the end of it, it is seen that the present work sets the stage for a very interesting investigation of several gravitational anomalies such as the ponderous Pioneer Anomaly, the vexing Flyby Anomalies, the mysterious Anomalous Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies and as well, the possibility of the generation of stellar magnetic fields by rotating gravitational masses.

“…Barker et al [7] studied the turbulent damping of precessional fluid motions, in the simplest local computational model of a giant planet (or star), with and without a weak internal magnetic field. Nyambuya [8] presented an improved version of the azimuthally symmetric theory of gravitation model, which is able to explain the anomalous perihelion precession. Sultana et al [9] investigated the perihelion shift of planetary motion in conformal Weyl gravity using the metric of the static and spherically symmetric solution.…”

The paper aims to apply the octonions to explore the precessional angular velocities of several particles in the electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Some scholars utilize the octonions to research the electromagnetic and gravitational fields. One formula can be derived from the octonion torque, calculating the precessional angular velocity generated by the gyroscopic torque. When the octonion force is equal to zero, it is able to deduce the force equilibrium equation and precession equilibrium equation and so forth. From the force equilibrium equation, one can infer the angular velocity of revolution for the particles. Meanwhile, from the precession equilibrium equation, it is capable of ascertaining the precessional angular velocity induced by the torque derivative, including the angular velocity of Larmor precession. Especially, some ingredients of torque derivative are in direct proportion to the field strengths. The study reveals that the precessional angular velocity induced by the torque derivative is independent of that generated by the torque. The precessional angular velocity, induced by the torque derivative, is relevant to the torque derivative and the spatial dimension of precessional velocity. It will be of great benefit to understanding further the precessional angular velocity of the spin angular momentum.

“…As argued in [2], the ASTG-model is surely a new classical theory of gravitation which makes the seemingly ambitious hypothesis that the spin of a gravitating mass has a significant and decisive role to play in the emergent gravitational field of the spinning mass. The ASTG-model is based 1 are some dynamic parameters which in the ASTG-model are assumed to be related to gravitating body in question and the explicit dependence of these λ-parameters on the gravitating body's spin have been explored and made clear in the reading [2].…”
