The hypothesis of A-Temporal Gravitation considers that gravitational force is carried directly by A-Temporal physical space. Some researches show that gravitational waves are only mathematical entities generated by purely formal approaches. The possibility that they do not exist as a physical reality should not be excluded.

Key words: gravitational ether, gravitational waves, a-temporal gravitation

Introduction In his article "Chief Notions and Methods of the Theory of Relativity Presented in its Development" that is kept in the Morgan Library in New York, Einstein says that the general theory of relativity cannot be imagined without gravitational ether which is non-homogeneous, and its state has no autonomous existence but depends on the field generating matter. Since in the new theory, metric facts can no longer be separated from true physical facts, the concept of space and ether merge together (1).

Gravitational force is pulling together the physical space in which sun and earth are floating, it is not acting on the sun and on the earth directly. Gravitational force is in equilibrium with a centripetal force: Fg = Fc.

Discussion That physical space has a density which corresponds to the amount of matter into it is predicted also by Newberry: "In all scenarios curved space and dense space are mathematically and geometrically equivalent" (3).

Einstein in 1916, a few month after the formulation of General Theory of Relativity, predicted the existence of curvature perturbations propagating with speed c on a flat and empty space-time; the gravitational waves. In 1960s, Joseph Weber began the experimental work to detect gravitational waves. He was essentially alone in this field of research. Then, the theoretical work of Wheeler, Bondi, Landau and Lifshitz, Isaacson, Thorne and others and the experimental work of Weber, Braginski, Amaldi and others opened a new area of research in this field (4).

Loinger considers that gravitational waves are non-physical fictitious entities generated, in the last analysis, by undulating references frames (6).

A-Temporal Gravitation opens new perspectives into understanding of what happens in the centre of black holes. Beyond the Schwartzschild radius the density of physical space becomes so strong that energy of matter transforms back into the energy of physical space. The first law of thermodynamics is saved also in a centre of a black hole (8).

In General Relativity matter is bending space-time. The Let's see how this happens inside the earth:

Going towards the centre the curvedness of the space-time is becoming less. Part of the earth that is above the point P is bending the space-time in a opposite direction as a part that is under the point P. Space-time should be most flat in the centre. Going towards the centre the gravitational force should diminishing. The speed of physical time should increase.

According to the A-Temporal gravitation the density of physical space and of the gravitational force are increasing by going towards the centre. The speed of physical time decreases. Clocks should run slower deep (6000 meters) under the sea that on the boat on the surface.

Conclusions The possibility that gravitational force is carried by the density of A-Temporal physical space and that gravitational waves are only a mathematical entities and do not exist as a physical phenomenon should not be excluded. A-Temporal gravitation opens new perspectives into understanding of cosmic dynamics.
