The Schwarzschild metric describes the gravitational field of a spherical body. The special theory of relativity, based on Lorentz transformations, has a number of experimental confirmations. Is it possible to apply Lorentz transformations to the Schwarzschild metric? This was done

Preprint Application of Lorentz transformations to the Schwarzschild metric

for the linearized isotropic Schwarzschild metric and the geodesic equations for the resulting metric were found. When using them to analyze the frequency shift data of the Pioneer 10 signal, it is concluded that the annual frequency variations are caused by a change in the velocity of the time flow on the apparatus from the point of view of an observer on Earth.

The resulting metric is used to determine the active gravitational mass of a cloud of rarefied gas of relativistic particles.

As the velocity of particles approaches the light velocity, this mass increases indefinitely compared to their total relativistic mass. This result can be extended to relic neutrinos. Since the minimum rest mass of neutrinos is not found, this leaves open the possibility that they may make up a most of dark energy.
