Relativistic theory of gravitation

A. A. Logunov, M. A. Mestvirishvili


Abstract: A relativistic theory of gravitation is constructed uniquely on the basis of the special principle of relativity and the principle of geometrization, the gravitational field being regarded as a physical field in the spirit of Faraday and Maxwell, possessing energy, momentum, and spin 2 and 0. The source of the gravitational field is the total conserved energy-momentum tensor of the matter and the gravitational field in Minkowski space. Conservation laws hold rigorously for the energy-momentum, and angular momentum of the matter and the gravitational field. The theory explains all the existing gravitational experiments. By virtue of the geometrization principle, the Riemannian space has a field origin in the theory, arising as an effective force space through the action of the gravitational field on the matter. The theory gives a prediction of exceptional power – the Universe is not closed, merely “flat”. It follows from this that in the Universe there must be “hidden mass” in some form of matter.
