General Self-creation Cosmology Theories
The GR gravitational field equation of all Self-Creation Cosmology theories is modified to explicitly include Mach's principle, following Brans-Dicke, by including the stress-energy tensor of a scalar field energy :
- ,
where is the stress energy tensor describing the matter field. The scalar field
- , where is the Newtonian gravitational 'constant',
is coupled to the large scale distribution of matter in motion, described by a field equation of the simplest general covariant form
- ,
is the trace, of the stress energy tensor describing all non-gravitational and non-scalar field energy. In the new SCC, the Brans Dicke parameter has been determined to be unity.
The BD field equation is modified in all these theories by the non-conservation of stress-energy, so the conservation equation does not apply,

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or theories:
“We raised a simple prayer
Before we left the spot,
That in the general mowing
That place might be forgot;
Or if not all so favored,
Obtain such grace of hours
That none should mow the grass there
While so confused with flowers.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Our books of science, as they improve in accuracy, are in danger of losing the freshness and vigor and readiness to appreciate the real laws of Nature, which is a marked merit in the ofttimes false theories of the ancients.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
