Abstract

The incomplete Minkowski space as a model of physical space-time is proposed. The incompleteness is described by a scalar function and added to the definition of the interval of flat space-time. It is shown that at an appropriate choice of the incompleteness function the proposed model leads to the observed physical effects - precession of Newtonian orbits, gravitational deflection of light, gravitational time dilation.
