The Gravitational Constant as the Function of the Cosmic Scale

Abstract

This paper uses the cosmic evolution picture constructed by the principal and associated fiber bundles and, with the help of gauge invariance, systematically proposes the γ factor theory that the Newton’s law of universal gravitation and the cosmological constant of Einstein’s equation must be corrected in the large-scale space-time structure of the universe. That is, it is found that the calculated value of Newton’s universal gravitation in space-time above the scale of galaxies must be multiplied by 1 / γ to be consistent with the measured value, and the cosmological constant of Einstein’s equation is no longer a constant but a function that increases with the increase of the scale of cosmic regions. Therefore, the cyclic hypothesis of cosmic evolution is proposed, and it is further found that the gravitational constant that people think is natural is not a constant but a function that changes with the scale of cosmic regions. Therefore, the reason for the dark matter and dark energy hypothesis may be that the gravitational constant is a variable. The existence of actual dark matter and dark energy may be just an illusory hypothesis, and their origin comes from the understanding that the gravitational constant is constant.
