Critical Tests for two Hypotheses used in Gravitation and Cosmology
From more critical tests for gravitational (G) hypotheses it has been proved that the relative properties of nonlocal (NL) bodies at rest with respect to an observer depend on the difference of G potential between bodies and observer. The G energy comes not from the field but from a fraction of the mass-energy of the bodies. These results are in opposition with two traditional hypotheses used in Physics. In the classical tests of general relativity their errors are compensated because they have the same absolute value and opposite signs. The general theory based on such tests, called non-local relativity, is consistent with quantum mechanics and with all of the traditional G tests. The new cosmological scenario, which is radically different from the standard one, has also been verified from astronomical observations.
