Why not investigating an thought example of two relatively big bodies
rotating around each other in perfectly circular orbit? Lets also assume
that these bodies are rotating around their own axis with no inclination.
The retardation means that one body will feel the force of the other
assuming
Thanks for the replies. I will look on it later. It seems that you refer to
point masses when volume distributions have to be considered.

I don't really understand how tidal and retarded effects can cancel.
Tidal effects are only detectable on extended bodies, and the tidal
force generally (always?) has nonzero divergence.
On the other hand, the retarded gravity effect typically manifests
itself as a rotation of the acceleration

Actually I think that's wrong -- I don't think it's
Hi
My own posting today on Usenet.
I would be glad if someone could help me with how to calculate this for some
examples to see if there is any reason in it.
