Electromagnetism and Gravitation

چکیده
Modern experiment has shown that bulk matter exhibits quantum structure and that this structure is electromagnetic in character. Therefore, we treat the electromagnetic field as the source of gravitation. In this way, the theory of gravitation becomes consistent with the quantum theory of matter, which holds that electric charge (or ‘generalized charge’) is the most fundamental attribute of matter. The following predictions of the theory may lie within reach of presentday methods in astronomy: (1) any massive body generates a time-dependent gravitational field; (2) there is a linear correlation between the gravitational red-shift of a stellar source and the energy of cosmic rays emitted by that source, given by ∆ν/ν0 = energy (eV)/10 27; (3) the maximum energy of cosmic rays is 1027 eV; (4) this limit is associated with an infinitely red-shifted stellar object—an “electrostatic black-hole”—at the potential c2/G1/2 = 1027 volts. Finally, the theory predicts that the gravitational potential near any charged elementary particle is many orders of magnitude greater than the Newtonian value.

A Reconciliation of Electromagnetism and Gravitation
It is argued that once we consider the underpinning of a Non Com-mutative geometry, itself symptomatic of extended particles, for example in Quantum Superstring theory, then a reconciliation between gravitation and electromagnetism is possible.
متن کاملOn the Equivalence Principle and a Unified Description of Gravitation and Electromagnetism
We first investigate the form the general relativity theory would have taken had the gravitational mass and the inertial mass of material objects been different. We then extend this analysis to electromagnetism and postulate an equivalence principle for the electromagnetic field. We argue that to each particle with a different electric charge-to-mass ratio in a gravitational and electromagnetic...
متن کاملUnified Description of Gravitation and Electromagnetism through a Symmetric Metric
If gravitation and electromagnetism are both described in terms of a symmetric metric tensor, then the deflection of an electron beam by a charged sphere should be different from its deflection according to the Reissner-Nordstrøm solution of General Relativity. If such a unified description is true, the equivalence principle for the electric field implies that the photon has a nonzero effective...
متن کاملGravitoelectromagnetism in a complex Clifford algebra
A linear vector model of gravitation is introduced in the context of quantum physics as a generalization of electromagnetism. The gravitoelectromagnetic gauge symmetry corresponds to a hyperbolic unitary extension of the usual complex phase symmetry of electromagnetism. The reversed sign for the gravitational coupling is obtained by means of the pseudoscalar of the underlying complex Clifford a...

We reconstruct a 3+1 formalism of general relativistic electromagnetism, and derive the equations of motion of charged particles in the pulsar magnetosphere, taking account of the inclination between the rotation axis and the magnetic axis. Apart from the previous works where space charge is evaluated by assuming the flow velocity being the light speed, we analyze particle motion in the polar c...
