Gravity - Based on Lorentzian Relativity — •Albrecht Giese — Taxusweg 15, 22605 Hamburg

In order to explain relativity, Einstein used a geometric method for the required physical calculations. Contrary to general opinion, Einstein was not the original inventor of this method, which was in fact developed about 100 years before him. The method was later given up because it turned out not to be helpful in understanding physics and to have intricate mathematical implications. However, it has now achieved high acclamation in connection with Einstein's name.

We will show that relativity can be led back from geometrization to physics. The benefits of this approach are that it is easier to grasp and has a stronger relationship with the other branches of physics. Special relativity and general relativity (i.e. gravity) can be understood and treated using classical physics and school-level mathematics to produce exactly the same results as Einstein in almost all applications. At the same time, unresolved problems like dark energy and quantum gravity can be solved.
