Gravitation Revisited
Abstract
Description
Gravitation has posed a puzzle and a problem for many decades. Attempts to unify it with other fundamental interactions have failed. These problems and puzzles have been underscored by the likes of Witten and Weinberg. We survey this and argue that gravitation has a different character compared to other fundamental interactions - it is an energy distributed over all the elementary particles in the universe. The above puzzle and problem is resolved satisfactorily. These considerations lead to a varying $G$ cosmology consistent with observation. It is argued that apart from the usual tests, the above explains in addition the anomalous accelerations of the Pioneer spacecrafts. Further tests are also proposed.
