Paul Gerber recognized two factors that due to finite propagation speed
of interaction can influence the Newtonian law of gravitation.

How much time needs a change of field from the mass to run by the
mass with diameter (figure 1)?
At rest:
Obviously the same holds for field change from the mass . It fol-
