  2. Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoyle–Narlikar_theory_of...

    The Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity [1] is a Machian and conformal theory of gravity proposed by Fred Hoyle and Jayant Narlikar that originally fits into the quasi steady state model of the universe.

  3. Fred Hoyle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hoyle

    Together with Narlikar, Hoyle developed a particle theory in the 1960s, the Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity. It made predictions that were roughly the same as Einstein's general relativity, but it incorporated Mach's Principle, which Einstein had tried but failed to incorporate in his theory. The Hoyle-Narlikar theory fails several tests ...

  4. Jayant Narlikar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayant_Narlikar

    He developed with Sir Fred Hoyle the conformal gravity theory, known as Hoyle–Narlikar theory. It synthesises Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and Mach's principle. It proposes that the inertial mass of a particle is a function of the masses of all other particles, multiplied by a coupling constant, which is a function of cosmic epoch.

  6. Conformal gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_gravity

    Conformal gravity is an example of a 4-derivative theory. This means that each term in the wave equation can contain up to four derivatives. There are pros and cons of 4-derivative theories. The pros are that the quantized version of the theory is more convergent and renormalisable. The cons are that there may be issues with causality. A ...

    A theory of gravity is a "metric theory" if and only if it can be given a mathematical representation in which two conditions hold: Condition 1 : There exists a symmetric metric tensor g μ ν {\displaystyle g_{\mu \nu }\,} of signature (−, +, +, +), which governs proper-length and proper-time measurements in the usual manner of special and ...
