Flat Spacetime Gravity (FSG)
An Alternative Theory of Gravitation
This book presents a comprehensive field-theoretic reformulation of gravitational dynamics entirely within flat Minkowski spacetime, without invoking spacetime curvature or a dynamical metric. The framework developed herein-referred to as Flat Spacetime Gravity (FSG)-constructs gravitation as a relativistic interaction mediated by antisymmetric tensor fields and velocity-dependent couplings, fully consistent with Lorentz covariance and classical field theory.
Beginning with the kinematical structure of four-velocity fields and rotational bivectors, the theory introduces a natural decomposition into orbital and Fermi components, allowing a transparent separation of spatial dynamics from mixed space-time coupling effects. A Maxwell-type gravitational field formulation emerges, based on scalar and vector gravitational potentials generating sourceful and rotational field components.
The work develops:
-
- A complete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of gravitational dynamics in flat spacetime.
- Canonical equations of motion and conserved quantities.
- Semiclassical WKB analysis leading to a de Broglie-type wave description for matter interacting with the gravitational field.
- Modified orbital dynamics accounting for relativistic corrections to planetary motion.
- A purely orbital explanation of light deflection without the use of spacetime curvature.
- A consistent flat-spacetime treatment of gravitational redshift and time delay effects.
- A dynamical cosmological sector in which large-scale expansion, effective Hubble flow, and redshift emerge from the evolution of the gravitational time-rate factor .
Throughout the text, all derivations are presented explicitly within a unified mathematical structure grounded in classical relativistic field theory. No geometric modification of spacetime is assumed or required at any stage; all observed gravitational phenomena addressed arise as consequences of flat-spacetime dynamics alone.
This monograph is intended for graduate students, researchers, and scientifically trained readers with interests in gravitation theory, field theory, and the conceptual foundations of physics. It offers a rigorous alternative perspective on gravitational interaction, complementing traditional geometric approaches with a fully covariant, dynamical field framework.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
