Abstract
As a preliminary communication, I wish to indicate briefly a few main results which could be made the starting-point of a general theory of relativity which shall fit in, in a natural way, with the Newtonian scheme and older physics and shall avoid the necessity of formulating with Einstein a space-time continuum “curved” by the existence of matter. It would be sufficient, as we shall show, to adopt a space-time continuum which is “flat”, for the formulation of physical laws.
