We present a Lagrangian-based metric theory of gravity with three adjustable constants and two tensor fields, one of which is a nondynamical "flatspace metric" i. With a suitable cosmological model and a particular choice of the constants, the "Post-Newtonian limit" of the theory agrees, in the current epoch, with that of General Relativity (GRT); consequently our theory is consistent with current gravitation experiments. Because of the role of A, the gravitational "constant" G is time dependent and gravitational waves travel null geodesics of q rather than the physical metric g. Gravitational waves possess sixdegrees of freedom. The general exact static spherically symmetric solution is a four parameter family and one of these solutions is investigated in detail. Future experimental tests of the theory are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
