obviously, Yang's considerations are more comprehensive,consider not only the case of v < c, but also v is close to c. Newton ' s limit is not a velocity limit , but rather a weak field limit,that is, the geodesic equation is required to return to Newton's law of gravity in the weak field. In the past, the geodesic equation was only required to return to Newton's law of gravity in the case of weak field at low speed,and the geodesic equation is now required to return to Newton's law of gravity rather than others in weak fields, whether at high or low speeds.Ok, I have read few critical bits of this thread, mostly it is avoidable nonsense from either side.
The key point is that 8pi factor in Einstein Field Equations cannot be offered from the first principle, it is derived by considering the limiting v<<c and weak field scenario to get the Newtonian. So offering any other constant must be explained mathematically by deriving Newtonian from it. Can Yang do that?
namely require geodesic equations return to
d(mv)/dt=-GMm/rr, m is relativistic mass of moving particle, there was no guarantee of high speed in the past
