Abstract

An earlier paper [1] presented a gravity theory based on the optics of de Broglie waves rather than curved space-time. While the universe's geometry is flat, it agrees with the standard tests of general relativity. A second paper [2] showed that, unlike general relativity, it agrees with Doppler tracking signals from the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes. There a gravitational acceleration equation plays an important role, accounting for the relative motions of Earth and the probes. Here it's shown that equation also describes Mercury's orbit.
