ON THE POSSIBILITY OF GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE IN THE RELATIVISTIC THEORY OF GRAVITY

In the example of dust matter, it is shown that a gravitational attrac tive force does not lead to the formation of ''black holes'' in the re lativistic theory of gravity. It is proved that in the absence of matt er, the gravitational field is also absent. Therefore, a Vacuum is not a source of a gravitational field. The mechanism of energy production in the process of the accumulation of matter into massive objects is discussed.
