Abstract
In Newton's theory of gravity, space is the universal container of all things and does not take any part in the movement of material bodies. However, there are a number of observations that are not described by this theory and are used as evidence for the theory of relativity and other theories that refute the absoluteness of space.This article discusses the possibility of departing from the absoluteness of space and supplementing Newton's theory of gravity with the hypothesis of the torsion of space by rotating space objects. The rationale for this approach is that the law of universal gravitation contains only the mass of the gravitating object, and does not take into account the influence of angular momentum, which is possessed by almost all space objects. Based on this hypothesis, formulas are derived for calculating the perihelion displacement of the planets of the solar system and the deflection of light when passing near the Sun. The obtained calculation results coincide with the observational data, which can be considered not only a justification of the hypothesis, but also a refutation of the assumption of the anomaly of these phenomena. It is established that the graph of the torsion velocity function of space has a physical meaning of the trajectory of free fall, since the force of gravity is directed tangentially to it.Considering the torsion of space by the rotating mass of the galaxy, an analytical expression for the rotation curves is obtained. which makes it possible to explain the features of the motion of matter in the disk of the galaxy. It has been established that, unlike the MOND theory, these features are not the result of violations of the law of universal gravitation and relativistic effects, but are explained by an external influence on the rotating space of the galaxy. Based on the logarithmic shape of the rotation curves in the far zone, which most fully corresponds to the observations, a universal analytical expression for the Tully-Fisher type relation is obtained in the form: v ~ln(M).
