Phys. Rev. 169, 1014–1016 (1968)Equivalence Principle for Massive Bodies. I. PhenomenologyReceived 11 September 1967; published in the issue dated May 1968 The experimentally measured equality of inertial mass (mi) and gravitational mass (mg) of a body indicates nothing about the mg/mi ratio to the order of gravitational self-energy/total energy of the body. Experiments are discussed, using astronomical bodies, which measure mg/mi to the order of the gravitational self-energy of the bodies. The configuration of the stable three-body problem of Lagrange is shown to be particularly sensitive to the possible difference Δ≡mg/mi-1 of the Sun. © 1968 The American Physical Society URL:
