General relativity in an absolute Euclidean space-time

We will consider two phenomena well known from the general theory of relativity in an absolute Euclidean space-time. From the mathematical point of view a Euclidean space-time can be obtained from a Minkowski space-time by means of a simple rearrangement procedure. We will make use of this procedure to derive the Euclidean space-time analog of the Schwarzschild metric. From this metric or rather from its corresponding Lagrangian, we will derive the expressions for the deflection of light and the precession of perihelia of planets in an absolute Euclidean space-time. The results are striking. That is, we arrive at the same expressions as found in the general theory of relativity. The prediction of these values has always been regarded as a success of the general theory of relativity. Our results, however, show that the agreement between observed and the predicted values also supports the absolute Euclidean space-time theory.
