Peer reviewedWill, Clifford M. – Physics Today, 1972
It maintains that there is a strong need for clearing the confusion around several theories of gravitation. A comprehensive theoretical framework is suggested against which every theory should be tested. The hope is that only one theory of gravitation will emerge from rigorous examination and provide a strong base for future research. (PS)
