General Relativity has had tremendous successes on both theoretical and experimental fronts for over a century by now. However, the theory contents are far from being exhausted. Only very recently, with gravitational wave detection from colliding black holes, have we started probing gravity behavior in the strongly non-linear regime. Even today, black hole studies keep revealing more and more paradoxes and bizarre results. In this paper, inspired by David Hilbert's startling ...

It seems likely that the generalized Einstein equations are not complete and only partly account for the effect on the Universe dynamics of that part of the energy of the space environment the change of which is purely geometric. There are offered the generalized Einstein's equations, describing not only the gravity forces, but also the cosmological forces of repulsion, which are geometric in their nature. The generalized Einstein equations are used to derive the cosmologic...

A repulsive gravitational effect of general relativity (without cosmological term), which was pointed out by Hilbert many years ago, could play a decisive role in the explanation of the observational data concerning the accelerated expansion of the universe.

Possibility of gravitational repulsion in General Relativity is discussed and astronomical data in favor of cosmological acceleration are described. The problem of vacuum energy is emphasized and possible ways of its solution are indicated. The main attention is payed to adjustment mechanism which in principle could compensate originally huge vacuum energy down to cosmologically acceptable value and to solve the coincidence problem of a close magnitudes of the non-compensated...

We present a theory of gravity based on Einstein's general relativity that is motivated by the paradoxes associated with time in relativistic rotating frames and certain exact solutions of Einstein's equations. We show that we can resolve these paradoxes with a single postulate, namely, the preservation of the local properties of time. This postulate forces the introduction of four additional degrees of freedom into the space-time structure whose transformation properties are...

In the framework of the field theory it is shown that a time (viewed as a scalar temporal field) is an internal property of the physical system, which defines its causal structure and evolution. A new concept of internal time allows to solve the energy problem in General Relativity and predicts the existence of matter outside the time. It is demonstrated that introduction of the temporal field permits to derive the physical laws of the electromagnetic field(the general covari...

There exists some confusion, as evidenced in the literature, regarding the nature of the gravitational field in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. It is argued here the this confusion is a result of a change in interpretation of the gravitational field. Einstein identified the existence of gravity with the inertial motion of accelerating bodies (i.e. bodies in free-fall) whereas contemporary physicists identify the existence of gravity with space-time curvature (i.e. ti...

It is shown that the gravitational field, as a physical field developing in the Minkowsky space, does not lead to unlimited gravitational collapse of massive bodies and, hence, excludes a possibility of the formation of the ``black holes''.

The Dark Energy problem is forcing us to re-examine our models and our understanding of relativity and space-time. Here a novel idea of Fundamental Forces is introduced. This allows us to perceive the General Theory of Relativity and Einstein's Equation from a new pesrpective. In addition to providing us with an improved understanding of space and time, it will be shown how it leads to a resolution of the Dark Energy problem.

I withdraw the previous version of the paper since it contains conceptual and mathematical mistakes. I will soon replace it with a radically revised version.
