Book cover: A Theory of Gravitation in Flat Space-TimeA Theory of Gravitation in Flat Space-Time
by - Science Publishing Group
In this work the theory of gravitation in flat space-time is summarized. Most of the results of the theory of gravitation in flat space-time are compared with those of general relativity. We only give a small part of the experimental results.
