Scientific paper

The progress in gravitational physics and cosmological theory during the past decade and a half is reviewed, with consideration of the theories alternative to the general relativity theory, such as the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory, Rosen's and Rastall's bimetric theories, and Moffat's new gravitational theory. Moreover, the present understanding of the Big Bang scenario is reviewed, centering on the processes in the pre-Lepton era, the inflationary models that involve supercooling, and the supposition that the universe had tunneled out of the quantum-gravity era. Finally, attention is paid to the formalism of quantum gravity and ultraviolet divergences.
