Scientific paper

An alternative theory of gravity with variable rest mass which is superior to other approaches, involves no conflict with observation, and contains Einstein's theory embedded within it as a well-defined limiting case is outlined. The theory is based on the hypothesis that gravity is described not by a four-dimensional space-time, but by a five-dimensional space-time-mass in which the fifth coordinate is Gm/c-squared. G and c are regarded as remaining true constants, so that the new coordinate is mass. Masses are variable provided the 'velocity' (G/c-cubed)dm/dt is nonzero. Conversely, if the velocity is zero, the masses are constants, the fifth dimension is absent, and Einstein's theory is recovered.
