A list of some of the current problems with Einstein's general theory.(practitioners will tend not to regard most of these as problems)
| GR1915 problem | 4.0 |
|---|---|
| Artificial division between "gravitational" and "nongravitational" physics | Eliminated. Curvature-based principles throughout. |
| Different versions of lightspeed constancy for "inertial" and "gravitational" physics | Purely-local, gravitationally-mediated c-constancy thoughout |
| Cosmological horizon issues | Difficulties eliminated by explicit use of acoustic metric |
| Equivalence Principle
compatibility issues (SR clock hypothesis) |
Full gravitational-equivalence for acceleration, no forced SR reduction to flat spacetime |
| Incompatibility with QM | QM reconsidered as statistical
result of projecting acoustic metric properties onto a simpler surface |
| Incompatibility with indirect radiation through gravitational horizons | Modified equations of motion, allowing "acoustic metric" behaviour across r=2M |
| Black Hole Information Paradox | (see previous) |
| Distinction between gravitational, cosmological and velocity-shifts, different rules for each | Unified by acoustic metrics and non-SR relationships throughout |
| Inconsistent application of velocity-dependent gravitomagnetic effects | General application of gravitomagnetic principles |
| Division between physics of the very large and physics of the very small | Curvature principles applied even to the motion of basic massed particles |
