Abstract

Using the framework of classical gravitational field theory, it is shown that the equations of Einstein’s General Relativity with a cosmological constant, if requested to be compatible with the Minkowski space, change form and become the equations of Relativistic Theory of Gravitation. These equations, in contrast to General Relativity, lead us to fundamentally different physical conclusions about the Universe’s evolution and Collapse.
