The Origin of Gravity — •Albrecht Giese — Taxusweg 15, 22605 Hamburg

Einstein's relativity is a structural theory, and so also his gravity. Einstein has based it on assumptions about space and time. But, following Heisenberg, physics should use only such quantities which can be directly observed. This is not the case for the parameters 'space' and 'time'.

To change from a structural to a physical understanding, we should in General Relativity replace 'curvature of space' by 'change of the speed of light c', as it is in practise already done by cosmologists. The results of the according derivations are very close to the ones of Einstein, but much easier to visualise, and they avoid the well known paradoxes. The equivalence principle is for the first time not only stated, but proven from physical basics. And there is a good potential to understand open questions like Dark Matter, Dark Energy; Quantum Gravity becomes obsolete.

The main difference to current physics is the understanding, that gravity is not the force no. 4 but a feeble side effect of other forces.
