Abstract

Abstract: It will be shown that a gravitational theory based on there being an additional contribution to the gravitational field from mass dipoles leads to the same field equation that arises from the AQUAL formulation of MOND. However, unlike AQUAL, the mass dipole theory does not require a modification of Newtonian gravitational theory. In addition, both SR and linearized GR field equations will be derived for the mass dipole and AQUAL gravitational theories.
