Abstract

The existence of a gravomagnetic field from a uniformly moving mass is predicted from special relativity and gravitational time dilation. Except for a factor of one-half, the field is identical to the field following from the linearized theory of gravitation.

• The answers given so far make many good points. One problem with the question is that it's implicitly simplifying the context. So I'd like to give a more detailed answer, which is a qualified "yes". C [stackexchange, 3 points]
