Abstract
AbstractIn this short paper, it is shown that the geodesic deviation equation admits a “constant of the motion” and so can be solved exactly. We also derive an expression for the energy E of relative motion between two freely falling test particles. We can infer that, in general, E will not be a linear superposition of kinetic and potential energies.
