Flatlandia : a flat spacetime description of gravitation

TL;DR

This paper challenges the traditional view that gravity cannot be described in flat spacetime by arguing that atomic equality depends on relative motion and gravitational position, supported by quantum considerations.

Contribution

It introduces a flat spacetime framework for gravity that accounts for atomic variations due to motion and gravity, revising foundational assumptions.

Findings

Atoms are only equal when at rest and in equivalent gravitational conditions.

Quantum mechanics supports mass variation in motion and gravitational fields.

The theory proposes a flat spacetime description of gravitation.

Abstract

The proof that a consistent theory of gravity cannot be constructed in a flat spacetime rests on the {\it assumption} that atoms be equal in every conditions. However special relativity and the principle of equivalence impose that atoms are equal only when relatively at rest and in equivalent gravitational positions. This is further backed up by implementing in QM the mass variation for moving objects and for bodies in a gravitational field.
