On the Structure of Space, Time and Field

Abstract:

A unified theory of gravity and other interactions is proposed. We are guided by the principle of equivalence of space-time and field and by Mach's principle. Fundamental Lagrangian is assumed to describe the whole universe on the one hand and local physical phenomena on the other. A condensed scalar field determines both the structure of the universe and that of the group of grand unification: The Hubble constant and deacceleration parameter are related to the grand unification group. One remarkable feature of our theory is the dependence of the gravitational and the gauge coupling constants on the cosmological time.
