Questions tagged [specific-reference]
Use this tag for questions seeking a single specific paper or a short, non-open-ended list of references, like "What paper first discovered X?", "Where can I find the original derivation of X?", or "What is the canonical source for X?" etc. Also for requests for hard-to-find electronic copies of resources when the exact reference is known. NOT TO BE USED for generic requests for resources (use [resource-recommendation] for that).

Modify Newton's gravity to cure the action at a distance
Take a bunch of particles (can be point particles) at ${\bf{x}}_i(t)$ and of mass $m_i>0$.
The gravitational field is defined by the Poisson equation
$$
\nabla^2 \Phi({\bf{x}},t) = 4 \pi G \rho({\...
