A theory of gravitation in flat space-time is shortly summarized and applied to cosmological models. These models start with a gravitational field and without matter. Gravitational energy is converted to matter and the total energy is conserved. The arising universe has no singularity (no big bang) and is not expanding. The redshift is a gravitational effect. It follows by converting gravitational energy to matter changing the gravitational field. This is another gravitation theory different from general relativity which also gives the presently most accepted results of general relativity for weak gravitational fields but has not the problems of general relativity with a big bang.
