Can it be argued that GR must be only an interim theory of gravity?

What are arguments that GR at best is an interim theory of gravity?

What are arguments that GR is likely the best theory of gravity?

The actual explanation for gravity must come from mechanics.

It is obvious that a gravitational field is just as much a force field as, for example, an electric or a magnetic field. For these fields, it is obviously true that the force F on a body that contributes to an external force field with its own field results from the dependence of the energy W in the field superposition on the position s of the body.

F=dW/ds. (dW/ds=(∂W/∂sx, ∂W/∂sy, ∂W/∂sz))

For the attraction that two plates of a charged capacitor exert on each other, this law of force results directly from the energy density of the electric field, the formula for the capacitance of the plate capacitor, and the energy and charge content of the plate capacitor. If you want to check this, you can easily calculate yourself that the field volume and the dependence of the capacitance on the spacing of the plate fits exactly with this law of force.

It is now self-evident that the above law of force applies to all kinds of force fields. For the field energy density in the gravitational field, only the value "-g²/(8πG)" has to be used and the gravitational force is obtained. g is the gravitational acceleration and G is the gravitational constant.

On the basis of two point masses that are initially far apart from each other and then lie on top of each other, it is also easy to calculate that the difference in field energy corresponds exactly to the work that is released when the point masses are merged.

We can therefore use field energy to explain the gravitational force in detail and conclusively, just like all forces exerted by force fields. Contrary to widespread assumptions, we do not even have to use the theory of relativity to explain why we observe gravitational forces.

The biggest problem of theoretical physics is that Einstein's relativity is considered holy and sacred since it venerates the light.

Here is the strongest disproof of Einstein's relativity, read it objectively :

Furthermore, Einstein's theories can't stand against Ockham Razor. Here is my Physics letter that disproves all Einstein's principles.

Read it please objectively by following Ockham Razor :

The relevance of this question is that many different events are currently taking place on the planet, caused by changes in the conditions in the space surrounding our planet as it moves with the Sun in the Galaxy. The Earth is a part of the Solar System, which in turn is a part of the Galaxy ... Man is a part of the planet, therefore, a part of the Galaxy, the Universe, ... Infinity. Each cosmological theory accepted at a given stage of the Universe's development reflects the consciousness of people at this stage, therefore it is inevitably a temporary structure reflecting the state of consciousness of people living in a given period of time. GTR is a four-dimensional (spatio-temporal) representation of the structure of the Universe, applicable to the description of its different-sized fragments - planets, star systems, galaxies and their clusters, ... GTR brought human consciousness out of the captivity of flat three-dimensional (Euclidean) space into four-dimensional curved space-time. Unlike STR, where three-dimensional space is flat and time flows uniformly, in GTR the observed three-dimensional space is curved, and the rate of observed time depends on the conditions at the location of the physical observer. Specifically, the rate of time depends on the magnitude of the gravitational potential at the observation site and on the speed of rotation of the observer's frame of reference. Gravity and rotation are the main physical observable characteristics of the space of reference of a material observer. According to Zelmanov's theory of physical observables, formulated within the framework of GTR, the rate of time for a physical observer depends on the magnitude of the gravitational potential and on the speed of rotation of the frame of reference at the time of observation. Formally, in GTR, time for an observer can propagate both in the forward (from the past to the future) and backward (from the future to the past) directions, and can also stop. The possibility of observing the present, past and future positions of cosmic objects - stars, globular clusters, the Andromeda galaxy - was demonstrated by the observations of the Russian astronomer N. A. Kozyrev. This means that a physical observer can investigate the impact on the planet of past and future states of various parts of the Universe exerted on the planet at the present moment in time.

The best argument that GR at best is an interim theory of gravity is the simple fact that no practical application was ever developed from it, contrary, for example, to Newtonian mechanics, successfully used ever since its introduction by Newton to correctly calculate all trajectories of any body not bolted to the floor, including circumlunar trajectories and more.

In the chapter about photon mass you write

"I suggested that the gravitational effect is because of the real mass of a photon. I also suggest that this mass can be found easily by making or observing a gravitational blueshift corrected shift of the light in a vacuum, and by using the famous formula:ΔE= mΔV²/2."

Instead you should have used the formula ΔE=hΔf, which is applicable to the photon energy and the photon mass hf/c².

You cannot assume relativity is wrong and then try to prove it with the consequences of that assumption.
