Yang's Gravitational Field Equations

Richard Pavelle

Open publisher page 34 citations

Abstract

The gravitational field equations proposed by Yang are shown to be identical with those proposed by Kilmister in 1959. The static, spherically symmetric solution of the Kilmister-Yang field equations is found. It is shown that solar experiments cannot yet distinguish between these equations and Einstein's vacuum equations.
