Abstract

In the context of extragalaotic celestial mechanics the equation of evolution of the universe is deduced with reference both to the isotropic and the anisotropic case, without resorting to the Newtonian theory of gravitation. With regards to the constant which comes out in this deduction, astronomical observation suggests that it can be rightly identified with the gravitational constant. Some consequences of the equation of evolution are deduced. The results obtained are preceded by a historical and critical analysis relative to the attempts which have been made up to now in order to develop a theory of the universe in the Newtonian context.
