ABSTRACT
The submicroscopic approach points to the fact that the gravitational interaction between objects must consist of two terms: the radial inerton interaction between masses M and m, which in the mean field approximation results in the classical Newtonian gravitational force F Newton and the tangential inerton interaction between the central attracting mass M and the orbiting attracted mass m, which is specified by the tangential component of the motion of the test mass m. A submicroscopic consideration allows a deeper alternative examination into the proper time of migrating photons. Shapiro studied the return of signals transmitted from the Earth to Venus and revealed the time delay effect, or gravitational time delay effect, which is considered now as one of the four available classic solar system tests of general relativity. Only inertons have the possibility to manifest themselves in gravitational phenomena.
