Einstein Field Equations and Geodesic Equation Paradox for a Gravitational Plane Wave Pulse Colliding with a Mass

Authors: Karl De Paepe

We consider a gravitational plane wave pulse colliding with a point mass. The path of the mass can be determined using the Einstein field equations. We expect, for small mass, that this path to be approximately a geodesic. We show this need not be the case.
