Abstract

The equations for the specification of the curvature of space-time are inherent in the general theory of relativity (GTR). However, despite its enormous success, there are a number of difficulties with GTR. Standard GTR is mathematically very complex, and it predicts the formation of black hole singularities. Here we reformulate the equations for gravitation by mathematically defining the equations for the curvature of space-time. We then translate this curvature back into equations for the force of gravity. By using the original equations for calculating the curvature of space-time used in GTR, we can translate the equations for gravitation, back into equations for a modified force of Newtonian gravity. Using worked examples, we show that such an adaptation of gravity, gives results which technically give the same results as GTR, in the mass range of the solar system. At the same time, an analysis of the data shows that with binary pulsars, the new equations can give improved results to GTR. In the case of high mass gravitational objects such as black holes, by using this advanced modified dynamic gravitation, AMDG, these equations also specifically resolve the difficulties of the formation of singularities.
