Classical Physics Beyond Einstein's

3rd edition available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FW4M9WT4
2nd edition of this book provides a revolutionary Big G-less and massless view on gravity. Mass is not fundamental - time dilation (aka locality of time speed) is. Besides gravity, time dilation provides a shell for matter (aka "strong force").

Speed of light is constant, when measured locally in any area. But the speed of time varies between areas. These two facts combined together mean that local speed of light and local speed of time are proportional, and their ratio is known as the speed-of-light constant c. But when light crosses areas of various time speeds, then the light wave, watched from somewhere outside, does not look like crossing these areas at the same speed at all. From an outside perspective, light runs at speed c/D, where D is a time slowness factor called time dilation. Apparent variations in D values between areas make "apparent speed of light" c/D variable. That explains many observations (previously attributed to magical/dark mechanics) as mere optical effects. Besides optical effects, there are real/tangible ones: c/D defines time pressure and time energy potential 0.5c²/D². Time potential was the pivotal result of this book's first edition. It replaced overcomplicated and extremely speculative General Relativity: time energy potential provides better results and in a very clear classical manner.

This edition takes you further, using an observation that time dilation D(r) at distance r from an attractor remains constant if powered by that distance: D(r)ʳ = Const.

Now, just having a single measurement D = D(R) of time dilation at any distance R from an attractor, we know time dilation D(r) at any other distance r from the attractor:

D(r) = D ᴿ⸍ʳ, because of constant D(r)ʳ = D(R)ᴿ and D = D(R) measurement.

That leads to revision of some fundamentals in physics. Newton's inverse square law for gravitational acceleration g(r) ≈ GM/r² (with enigmatic constant G of unknown nature and attracting mass M, with nature of mass still unclear to critically thinking physicists) can be expressed now using a measurement D of time dilation at any distance R from an attractor as g(r) ≈ c² ln(D) R / r² without magical components. These inverse-square formulas, with and without enigmatic ingredients, match measurements in the Solar system. As for the precise gravitational formula, we provide it as well: g(r) = c² ln(D) R / r² / D ²ᴿ⸍ʳ. It explains elliptical orbits precession in clear terms when D ²ᴿ⸍ʳ cannot be ignored - when it is distinguishable from 1. There is more:
