TL;DR

An astrophysicist from RUDN University has proposed a new theory of gravity that does not require the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor, challenging a fundamental assumption in general relativity. The new gravitational model, based on the Gibbs-Duhem relation, introduces additional terms to the classical Einstein equation and has been shown to be consistent with different environments and applicable to astrophysical and astronomical research. The theory's predictions align with experimental observations, suggesting potential deviations from Einstein's general theory of relativity at high energy levels and within the event horizon of black holes.
