Additions:
For a mathematician, such as the author, a proof of a physical theory requires that it is developed deductively from statements about physics which we can see are true (postulates). This is how Einstein developed special relativity. Relational quantum gravity was developed in the same way, and from the same general principles. If the postulates are true, and the deductions are correct, the conclusions are inevitable. Physicists generally also require empirical evidence; a theory should make testable predictions. General relativity applies to classical physics. Relational quantum gravity extends classical general relativity to the quantum domain using the teleconnection. The teleconnection is used to describe the transmission of light (photons) from distant stars and leads to empirical predictions which differ from those of general relativity only in the treatment of spectral shifts from distant astronomical objects.
Together with observed supernova redshifts, the model reveals a finite universe expanding at half the rate of the standard model and requiring no [[LargeScaleStructure cosmological constant]] or exotic “[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_dark_matter cold dark matter]]” (CDM). Changes in redshift explain Galaxy rotation curves without modifying Newtonian gravity (i.e. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics MOND]]). The acid test is a statistical analysis of the motions local stars. A correlation has been found which clearly shows that the standard [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift Doppler]] formula overstates radial velocities. If one rejects the notion that the Sun occupies a preferred position in space, one must also reject the redshift predictions of standard general relativity, and reassess the properties of the universe in which we live.
