Abstract
Introducing a metric space, we propose a gravitational theory in which the form of the basic equations of mechanics, the field equations, and the equations of motion are the same as that of the corresponding equations in electrodynamics. The theory reveals a very close relation between the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. Finally, we consider the field due to an arbitrarily moving mass point.
