Abstract

We handle Sciama’s cosmological theory, extending a previous paper by Berman (Astrophys. Space Sci. 318:269–272, 2008), and calculating radiation processes, in Machian, Sciama’s and general relativistic cosmological gravitation.

We find that the dipole or quadrupole formulae, when applied to Cosmology, yield the same constant radiated power for the Universe, as in a previous Machian calculation (Berman in arXiv:0806.1766v2).

We consider consequences for the growth of entropy in the Universe.
