Couldn't find it on arxiv, but it is referenced in another of their current articles here:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.09760

Very novel :-/

edit: They have published a book. One can read the preview on Amazon to get a feel for it:

https://www.amazon.com/Gravity-Special-Relativity-Strong-Boh...

They aren't attracting any citations.

I saw "relativistic gravitational force between neutrinos" and red flags went up. I've not read the article, just the abstract.

Doing a bit more of a look on the RLM, I found this[1] where they (mis)write the relation between inertial and rest mass. Specifically the gamma^3 factor ...

I've been out of physics for more than 20 years, so it's possible that there has been some new development since my Ph.D. Though 2 additional factors of gamma in special relativity aren't likely.

Color me ... skeptical.

I did follow their Einstein paper reference[2] to see if I had missed something. I didn't. I don't understand the origin of their 2 extra gammas in eqn 1 of the first reference. The paper abstract appears to be a continuation of that work.

From what I could determine, they need the gamma^3 term for their arguments, but it doesn't come from Einstein's paper as they claimed.

Again, I could be missing something, but I don't think I am.

This should have a (2019), shouldn't it?

Personally, I don't want to see any "(2019)" until half of 2020 is gone. Another rule could be to add it for articles that are more than one year old but this article is only two months old.
