Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity
The Hoyle–Narlikar theory of gravity[1] is a Machian theory of gravity proposed by Fred Hoyle and Jayant Narlikar that fits into the quasi steady state model of the universe.[2] The gravitational constant G is arbitrary and is determined by the mean density of matter in the universe. The theory was inspired by the Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory for electrodynamics.[3]
Currently the theory does not fit into WMAP data.[4] Narlikar and his followers are working on adding mini bangs with various creation fields to explain the anisotropy of the universe.[5][6]
