Abstract
We propose a theory of gravity in Minkowski space. The basic idea is that the presence of mass affects the world line of particles in flat Minkowski background. Although General Relativity is in complete agreement with observations so far, the theory discussed in this paper can solve some of the conceptual difficulties of GR, such as the energy problem, that is at the core of constructing this theory. We also discuss the cosmic expansion of the present universe and comment on the early universe. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the flatness problem and horizon problem are solved within this framework. As it will become clear, this is a theory of principle and not a theory of construction.
期刊介绍：
Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community
