Abstract

The gravitational field of a moving point particle is obtained in a Lorentz covariant form for both uncharged and charged cases. It is shown that the general relativistic proper time interval at the location of the particle is the same as the special relativistic one and the gravitational and electromagnetic self forces are zero.
