General Relativity--no blackholes and string theoryPosted by DocN on July 14, 2003 at 09:20:09: ...While performing PhD research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1950's, Huseyin Yilmaz studied an approximate calculation that Einstein had performed in developing General Relativity. Yilmaz discovered that he could implement this calculation exactly, and this yielded a different formula for specifying Relativity principles, which provided the basis for the Yilmaz theory of gravity. Einstein derived the gravitational field equation that specifies his theory in an intuitive manner, whereas the equation for the Yilmaz theory was derived rigorously. In 1958, the gravitational theory of Huseyin Yilmaz was published in the prestigious Physical Review. The Yilmaz theory incorporates the principles of General Relativity, and so is a refinement of the Einstein theory. The Yilmaz theory has proven that the basic principles of General Relativity are inconsistent with singularities. Modern Big Bang cosmologists reject the Yilmaz theory, which refutes their singularity predictions. The Yilmaz theory is easy to apply, and so would make obsolete the sophisticated computer techniques developed by cosmologists to solve the Einstein equations. How Was Our Universe Created? With the Yilmaz refinement of the Einstein theory, we now have a gravitational theory that provides a meaningful basis for studying cosmology. The physically impossible black hole and Big Bang singularities are eliminated, and a picture of the universe emerges that no longer violates our common sense. In the first (1958) paper on his gravitational theory, Yilmaz applied his theory to a simple cosmological model, which assumed that the universe has a constant average density of matter that does not change with time. Yilmaz was surprised to find that his simple model predicts that the universe must expand. The universe expansion is a natural relativistic effect that is produced by gravity. The Yilmaz cosmology model predicts that the universe is infinitely old, and that diffuse matter is created throughout space to compensate for the universe expansion. This diffuse matter is derived from energy radiated from stars. The Yilmaz cosmology model is similar to the Steady-State Universe theory proposed in 1948 by the famous astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, but does not have the limitations that led to the abandonment of the Hoyle theory. http://www.olduniverse.com/home_page.htm How would this reflect on string theory and its search for quantum gravity in such areas as the none existence of blackholes and the Big Bang?
