Default Is there a need to "fix" GR? (Was... )

A "general" theory is supposed to handle everything, both
locally and nonlocally. If it cannot do this, then it is no
longer "general". It then becomes "special". So you are
basically saying that the CBB model along with the FSP is,
sort of, "more general" than GR.


The word "relativity" is a reflection of the consequences of the speed
of light being measured to be the same value in all frames of
reference. Special Relativity defines these consequences for motion
alone. GR is "general" in the sense that the gravitational field
equations include SR, as well as Newtonian gravitation.
