The main macroscopic phenomena predicted by general relativity (the motion of Mercury's perihelion, the bending of light in the vicinity of the sun, and the gravitational red shift of spectral lines) are studied in the framework of the sub microscopic concept that has recently been developed by the author. The concept is based on the dynamic inerton field that is induced by an object in the surrounding space considered as a tessellation lattice of primary balls (superparticles) of Nature. Submicroscopic mechanics says that the gravitational interaction between objects must consist of two terms:
- the radial inerton interaction between two masses M and m, which results in classical Newton's gravitational law U = - GMm/r
- the tangential inerton interaction between the masses, which is caused by the tangential component of the motion of the test mass m and which is characterized by the correction - G(Mm/r)(v2/c2).
It is shown it is precisely this correction that is responsible for the three aforementioned macroscopic phenomena and the derived equations exactly coincide with those derived in the framework of the formalism of general relativity, which means that the latter must be reinterpreted as follow: the gravitational field of the resting central mass is flat, but the emergence of a test mass disturbs the field and its distribution exactly looks like the Schwarzschild metric prescribes.
