标题： Towards a Deeper Understanding of General Relativity

摘要： 广义相对论的标准处理方法接受引力对钟表的减慢作为主要现象，无需进一步分析其原因。 拒绝这种态度，认为原子量子力学的基本“常数”中有一个或多个必须取决于引力场中的位置。 推导出一个简单的关系式，用于描述e、h、c和m可能的依赖关系，并提出了选择电子静止质量m的论据。 因此，静止质量的减少被视为钟表减慢的唯一原因。 重要的是，这种依赖性意味着另一种此前未被察觉的效果，即引力导致测量杆的延长。 引入了一种替代的（“测距”）测量系统，导致一种与通常的固有度规共形相关的度规。 在新系统中，许多原本令人困惑的现象可以简单地理解。 特别是，施瓦茨希尔德空间的几何结构由测距系统描述与由固有测量描述的结构有显著不同，从而对黑洞结构的理解也大不相同。 该理论被扩展以描述宇宙学问题，导致了对宇宙结构和历史的非凡的替代观点。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Standard treatments of general relativity accept the gravitational slowing of clocks as a primary phenomenon, necessitating no further alalysis as to cause. Rejecting this attitude, it is argued that one or more of the fundamental "constants" governing the quantum mechanics of atoms must depend upon position in a gravitational field. A simple relationship governing the possible dependencies of e, h, c and m is deduced, and arguments in favor of the choice of the electron rest mass, m, are presented. The reduction of rest mass is thus taken to be the sole cause of clock slowing. Importantly, this dependency implies another effect, heretofore unsuspected, namely, the gravitational elongation of measuring rods. An alternate ("telemetric") system of measurement is introduced, leading to a metric that is conformally related to the usual proper metric. In terms of the new system, many otherwise puzzling phenomena may be simply understood. In particular,the geometry of the Schwarzschild space as described by the telemetric system differs profoundly from that described by proper measurments, leading to a very different understanding of the structure of black holes. The theory is extended to describe the cosmological problem, leading to a remarkable alternate view of the structure and history of the universe.
