Relativistic gravitational theory RGT is constructed on the basis of the spectral principle of relativity and a geometrization principle using a representation of the gravitational field as a physical field in the Faraday-Maxwell sense, which has energy, momentum, and spin 2 and 0. The source of the gravitational field is the overall conserved energy-momentum tensor for matter and the gravitational field in a Minkowski space. In RGT, there is strict obedience to the conservation laws for energy-momentum and momentum for matter and the gravitational field. The theory explains all the existing gravitational experiments. By virtue of the geometrization principle, the Riemann space in this theory is of field origin, since it arises as an effective force space from the action of the gravitational field on matter. RGT gives a prediction of exceptional strength: the universe is not closed, and it is only planar. This implies that the universe should contain latent mass as some form of matter.
