Abstract: In contrast with the Einstein-Dirac gravitational waves obtained under many simplifying assumptions, in this work exact vector gravitational waves are obtained as solutions of a linear system of PDEs formally analogous to the Maxwellian system for the electric and magnetic fields. With these linear equations, the precession of Mercury's perihelium and other celestial phenomena are easily explained (Now have a Gravitational Larmor's Theorem, and also a gravitomagnetic force that accounts for nebular angular momentum etc.). Gravitomagnetic fields are postulated not only as generated by matter in motion, as Wheeler (and also Faraday) thought, but also through intense light photonic beams converging in a concentration point or "trio-hole" prior to the Big Bang, with partial reflection, process that can be easily modelled under the Maxwell-Lorentz framework.
