Summary
The new theory of gravitation proposed by the author is extendable to accommodate a cosmic field of Dicke-Brans type. It is shown that the predictions are the same as those of the usual Dicke-Brans theory but the cosmic field is not necessarily interpretable as a pure scalar.
Riassunto
Si può estendere la nuova teoria della gravitazione proposta dall'autore fino ad ammettere un campo cosmico del tipo di Dicke e Brans. Si mostra che le previsioni che si ottengono sono le stesse della solita teoria di Dicke e Brans ma il campo cosmico non è necessariamente interpretabile come un puro campo scalare.
