ABSTRACT

In Newtonian mechanics, space and time are separate but in General, Relativity is unified. It is considered that the space in the weak-field approximation is quasi-static and it arises from a perfect field whose particles have very small velocity in comparison to light velocity in this coordinate system and the metric is a gravitational potential tensor of rank two which implies the field of empty space. If each point of an area in N-dimensional space there existed a corresponding definite tensor, where the components of the tensor are the function of space and space acts as the strong or weak gravitational field. 

Keywords: Minkowskian metric, Gravitational field, Space-time metric, Geodesic equation, and Manifolds.
