Yang–Mills gravity is a new theory, consistent with experiments, that brings gravity back to the arena of gauge field theory and quantum mechanics in flat space–time. It provides solutions to long-standing difficulties in physics, such as the incompatibility between Einstein’s principle of general co-ordinate invariance and modern schemes for a quantum mechanical description of nature. The book aims to provide a treatment of quantum Yang–Mills gravity with an emphasis on the ideas and evidence that the gravitational field is the manifestation of space–time translational symmetry in flat space-time, and that there exists a fundamental space–time symmetry framework that can encompass all of physics, including gravity, for all inertial and non-inertial frames of reference.
