Gravitation Without Curved Space-time
Abstract
A quantum-mechanical theory of gravitation is presented, where the motion of particles is based on the optics of de Broglie waves. Here the large-scale geometry of the universe is inherently flat, and its age is not constrained to < 13 Gyr. While this theory agrees with the standard experimental tests of Einstein's general relativity, it predicts a different second-order deflection of light, and measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect in the upcoming NASA experiment Gravity Probe B.
