Vlokh R.
It is shown that, in the model of a flat 3D space, the time (i.e., the
Hubble or the gravitation constant) plays a role of a spatial property.
Gravitation field of spherical central mass does not lead to a lowering
of symmetry of the space and appearance of anisotropy. In particular, the
relations that describe the changes in the refractive indices of the space
treated as an optical medium near the massive spherical body under the
influence of its gravitation field have been derived.
PACS: 42.25.Lc, 78.20.Ci, 04.20.C
Key words: birefringence, space anisotropy, gravitation field, time
symmetry, gravitation constant.
