New approach to relativity and gravitation.
Abstract
A theory of gravitation, where the stress-energy tensor of the gravitational field is part of the source term of the geometric curvatures, is presented. The theory predicts correctly all the Newtonian and post-Newtonian effects of gravity currently considered as crucial. For extremely strong and nonstatic fields, such as are presumed to exist in quasars and exploding stars, new predictions differing from those of the conventional theory are implied. In the correspondence limit of special relativity the theory recovers the conservation of energy-momentum properly and seems to represent a more satisfactory extension of special theory of relativity.
