==Abstract==

Some motivation for an ether theory of gravitation is presented. The equations of one such theory, based on just one scalar field, are given. It is a preferred-frame theory with a flat background metric and a curved physical metric. Motion is governed by an extension of the special-relativistic form of Newton&#8217;s second law. The current status of the observational test is favourable. In particular, the new theory reduces to Newton&#8217;s when it has to, and it does explain the effects of gravitation on light rays. In the most general form of the metric, cosmic space expansion occurs with a cosmological time-dilation. Expansion is necessarily accelerated, according to that theory. An analytical cosmological solution is got for a general form of the matter tensor. Two kinds of scenarios are possible: either expansion from an infinite density at past infinity, or contraction-expansion cycles beginning and ending with infinite dilution, and with a bounce at a finite maximum density. In the most likely scenario, there is an infinite number of non-identical such cycles. The time scale for the current cycle is very large.
