Abstract
The general theory of relativity enables us to calculate gravitational shielding and absorption. These effects are analogous to the shielding of electromagnetic fields with the exception that in lowest order quadrupoles rather than dipoles are involved. Quasistatic shielding effects occur in the tides, and for some models the shielding effect is several percent of the applied field. The dynamic shielding is much too small to observe at this time.Keywords
