General Relativity and Flat Space. II

TLDR: In this paper, the possibility of interpreting the formalism of the general theory of relativity in terms of flat space, the fundamental tensor being regarded as describing the gravitational field but having no direct connection with geometry, was considered.

Abstract: The possibility is considered of interpreting the formalism of the general theory of relativity in terms of flat space, the fundamental tensor ${g}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}$ being regarded as describing the gravitational field but having no direct connection with geometry. The resulting theory in general leads to the same predictions as the Einstein theory, but there are cases where the predictions differ. The present theory may explain the principal results obtained by D. C. Miller in his "ether-drift" experiments. The implications of the theory for cosmology are briefly touched upon.
