In the static field configuration, a spatially-Variable Speed of Light (VSL) scalar gravity model with Lorentz-Poincaré interpretation was shown to reproduce the phenomenology implied by the Schwarzschild metric. In the present development, we effectively cover configurations with source kinematics due to an induced sweep velocity field w. The scalar-vector model now provides a Hamiltonian description for particles and photons in full accordance with the first Post-Newtonian (1-PN…
Lorentz‐Poincaré type aspects of the matter Lagrangian in General Relativity Theory
It is well known that the solution to the Einstein Field Equation, gμν, can be either interpreted as the metric tensor itself or the mere gravitational field, their geochronometric correspondence
A "Lorentz-Poincaré" - Type Interpretation of Relativistic Gravitation
The nature of 'time', 'space' and 'reality' are to large extent dependent on our interpretation of Special (SRT) and General Relativity Theory (GRT). In SRT essentially two distinct interpretations
A Look at the Abandoned Contributions to Cosmology of Dirac, Sciama and Dicke
The separate contributions to cosmology of the above researchers are revisited and a cosmology encompassing their basic ideas is proposed. We study Dirac's article (1938) on the large number
A Lorentz-Poincaré Type Interpretation of the Weak Equivalence Principle
The validity of the Weak Equivalence Principle relative to a local inertial frame is detailed in a scalar-vector gravitation model with Lorentz-Poincaré type interpretation. Given the previously
Gravitational Acceleration of a Moving Object at the Earth’s Surface
Einstein deduced (very briefly on p. 834 of [1], and in slightly more detail on pp. 820-822 of [2]) that the gravitational deflection of light according to general relativity is twice the “Newtonian”
A Machian Version of Einstein's Variable Speed of Light Theory

It is a little known fact that while he was developing his theory of general relativity, Einstein's initial idea was a variable speed of light theory. Indeed space-time curvature can be mimicked by a
The CMB, Preferred Reference System, and Dragging of Light in the Earth Frame

The dominant CMB dipole anisotropy is a Doppler effect due to a particular motion of the solar system with a velocity of 370 km/s. Since this derives from peculiar motions and local inhomogeneities,
What happened if Dirac, Sciama and Dicke had talked to each other about cosmology?
The inspiring contributions to cosmology originating from the above named researchers seem abandoned today. Surprisingly, their basic ideas can be realized by slight modifications of each proposal.
Why do we Still Believe in Newton's Law ? Facts, Myths and Methods in Gravitational Physics
An overview of the experimental and observational status in gravitational physics is given, both for the known tests of general relativity and Newtonian gravity, but also for the increasing number of

The first order approximation of the exact result for the deviation due to refraction of the light coming from a further quasar has a relativistic dependence equal to the one obtained by Einsteins' linearized theory of gravitation.
