What we take from Einstein?

The “3D-brane universe model” is the name of a new non-Einsteinian theory of gravity. This theory is based on criticism and denial of the space-time as a material entity. However, it does not deny all the achievements of Einstein's theory and strives to digest and incorporate everything that is possible from Einstein's theory. In this article we analyze the elements of continuity between the two theories.

In Einstein's theory gravity is described by a four-dimensional metric. It can be understood as a 4x4 matrix, which is shown in the figure to the left of the arrow. The components of this matrix depend on coordinates and time.

Space-time in the new theory is subdivided into a foliation of 3D-branes. Each of these branes corresponds to one of the moments in the evolution of the real three-dimensional universe. The foliation of 3D-branes determines the choice of special coordinates, which are called comoving coordinates, and a special time, which is called membrane time. In these coordinates and in this time, the matrix of Einstein's metric becomes block-diagonal with diagonal blocks of the sizes 1×1 and 3×3. The content of the 1x1 diagonal block is interpreted in the new theory as a scalar field. The content of the 3x3 diagonal block in the new theory is understood as the three-dimensional metric of the real three-dimensional universe. Components of Einstein's metric that do not fall into these blocks are excluded from the new theory. They are painted over in the figure with gray rectangles.

  Criticism of the space-time sausage. Ruslan A. Sharipov 1 2 3 ... ru The concept of space-time arose in the early 20th century in connection with Einstein's theory of relativity. It is a combination of three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time, which had previously been considered separately, into one four-dimensional continuum. We cannot depict a four-dimensional continuum graphically. Therefore we reduce the three-dimensional space to the two-dimensional space and reserve the third dimension for to image the time. As a result we get the following picture. The horizontal planes on the picture symbolize the states of the universe at different instants in time during its evolution. In fact, they are three-dimensional and there are not two of them, but infinitely many. They fill the entire four-dimensional space-time. Instead of considering the entire universe, we can limit ourselves to some part of it. For example, the globe. Then we get the ...

Discussion of the obtained gravity equations. Ruslan A. Sharipov.  1 ... 8 9 10 ... ru   We shall discuss the equations of the gravitational field in the new theory of gravity, which is called « 3D-brane universe model ». I am the author of this theory. Therefore, you will receive first-hand information without any distortion. The gravity equations in the new theory are subdivided into two groups. The equations of the first group have the form They depend on two indices i and j . When these indices are rearranged, the equations do not change. Therefore, different equations are obtained only for the following values of the indices: (i=1,j=1), (i=1,j=2), (i=1,j=3), (i=2,j=2), (i=2,j=3), (i=3,j=3). This means that the total number of different equations in the first group is 6. The second group of gravity equations in the new theory contains only one equation. As a result, the total number of the gravity equations in the ...

Einstein's equation and consequences from it in the new theory. Ruslan A. Sharipov. 1 ... 7 8 9 ... ru   Einstein's equation was written by him in 1915. A historical essay about it can be found in Wikipedia . It captivated and captivates many people with its simplicity and elegance. In Wikipedia you will find this equation written with the plus sign in front of the constant Λ. I wrote it with the minus sign. This is my mistake. It was admitted long time ago in 1997, when I was writing my textbook “ Classical electrodynamics and  theory of relativity .” The Internet in Russia and in the city of Ufa was much less accessible that time than it is now. Also there was no Wikipedia; it appeared only in 2001. It was necessary to go to libraries and rummage through catalogs in search of even older textbooks. But I was lazy. In order not to contradict my textbook, I now write Einstein’s equation with the minus sign in front of Λ. This is not a big problem. It is enough to take the...
