Dogma Dogfight

General relativity dogma:
  • Field equations are rank 2,

  • Field equations are nonlinear,

  • Gravity binds to energy-momentum.

  • The Equivalence Principle:
Unified field dogma:
  • Field equations are rank 1,

  • Field equations are linear,

  • Gravity binds to rest mass.

  • The Equivalence Principle:


No data demonstrates the nonlinearity of gravity, too weak.
