2 Ilija Barukčić 1 Introduction The many short-lived attempts to unify the electromagnetic and gravitational fields together with other fundamental interactions within one conceptual and formal framework has been the focus of much present research but has not yet met with ultimate success. In point of fact, the unity of nature as the foun- dation for the unity of science allow us to hope to find the trail of the hidden in order to unify all the fundamental interactions, including gravitation1 and electromagnetism, in a single theoretical framework – a unified field theory. However, so far all attempts to tie the known fundamental forces of nature and to unify2 the general3 theory of relativity4 , which describes the gravita- tional5 field, with quantum mechanics made their incompatibility more or less more apparent. Even Einstein’s efforts devoted to the search for a ‘unified field theory’6 , “a generalization of the theory of the gravitational field” 7 , were in vain8 . In order to reach new horizons on this issue in ques- tion, a lot can been learned even from failed attempts at unification and much more might be learned in the future. In brief, past experience has shown that due to the weakness of the gravitational interaction to encounter primarily an empirical-inductive method at unification with the goal to join the grav- itational and electromagnetic field into a new field appears not impossible but hardly implausible. Therefore, in this attempt at unification prefers the deductive-hypothetical method. And it’s with this goal in mind that greater attention will be directed in particular to the development of a new and sys- tematic approach to the problem of unification. Fully in line with this is the fact that all tensors of the general theory of relativity, including the Ricci 1Newton, Isaac: Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica, Londini 1687. 2Mie, Gustav: Grundlagen einer Theorie der Materie, in: Annalen der Physik 3 (1912), 511–534.

However, to sum11 up, what do we do as a consequence of it? In the following, it is necessary to put some focus on the development and building of a unified field theory on the basis of a metric tensor gµν . 9 Ricci, M. M.

4 Ilija Barukčić 2 Material and methods 2.1 Definitions Evidently there several features of general relativity (particles as singularities of a field) including experimental12 confirmation which have made the major- ity of physicists to believe that general relativity theory is correct. However, physicists have not yet figured out how to unify general relativity with all other interactions and the search for a quantum theory of gravity is still without a breakthrough in this field. Definition 1 (Anti tensor) Let aµν denote a certain tensor. Let bµν denote another tensor. Let Eµν denote a thrid tensor. Let the relationship aµν + bµν + ... ≡ Eµν be given. The anti tensor of a tensor, i. e. aµν is denoted in general as aµν and defined as aµν ≡ E µν − aµν (1) ≡ bµν + ... There are circumstances were an anti-tensor is identical with an anti-symmetrical tensor, but both are not identical as such. Definition 2 (The Ricci tensor Rµν ) Let Rµν denote the Ricci tensor13 of ‘Einstein’s general theory of relativity’14 , a geometric object developed by Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro (1853 – 1925) able to measure of the degree to which a certain geometry of a given metric differs from that of ordinary Euclidean space. Let aµν , bµν , cµν and dµν denote the four basic fields of nature were aµν is the stress-energy tensor of ordinary matter, bµν is the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field. 4×2×π×γ R Rµν ≡ × T µν + × g µν − (Λ × g µν ) c4 2 | {z } | {z } aµν +bµν cµν +dµν ≡ (aµν + bµν ) + (cµν + dµν ) ≡ (aµν + cµν ) + (bµν + dµν ) (2) ≡ (aµν ) + (+bµν + cµν + dµν ) ≡ (bµν ) + (+aµν + cµν + dµν ) ≡ (cµν ) + (+aµν + bµν + dµν ) ≡ (dµν ) + (+aµν + bµν + cµν ) ≡ aµν + bµν + cµν + dµν 12 Thomson, Joseph: Joint eclipse meeting of the Royal Society and the Royal Astronom- ical Society, in: The Observatory 545 (1919), 389–398. 13 Ricci, M.

The field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism 5 Definition 3 (The Ricci scalar R) Under conditions of Einstein’s general15 theory of relativity, the Ricci scalar curvature R as the trace of the Ricci curvature tensor Rµν with respect to the metric is determined at each point in space-time by lamda Λ and anti-lamda16 Λ as R ≡ g µν × Rµν ≡ (Λ) + (Λ) (3) A Ricci scalar curvature R which is positive at a certain point indicates that the volume of a small ball about the point has smaller volume than a ball of the same radius in Euclidean space. In contrast to this, a Ricci scalar curvature R which is negative at a certain point indicates that the volume of a small ball is larger than it would be in Euclidean space. In general it is R × g µν ≡ (Λ × g µν ) + (Λ × g µν ) (4) The cosmological constant can also be written algebraically as part of the stress–energy tensor, a second order tensor as the source of gravity (energy density). Definition 4 (The stress-energy tensor of matter / energy Eµν ) The stress-energy tensor of matter / energy Eµν is determined in detail as follows. 4×2×π×γ E µν ≡ × T µν c4 2×π×γ×T ≡ × g µν c4 2×π×γ×T ≡ ×g µν c4 | {z } E (5) ≡ E × g µν ≡ Gµν + (Λ × g µν ) R ≡ Rµν − × g µν + (Λ × g µν ) 2 ≡ Rµν − E µν ≡ aµν + bµν In our understanding, the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field (bµν ) is equivalent to the portion of the stress-energy tensor of matter / energy (Eµν )due to the electromagnetic field where where Tµν “denotes the co-variant 15 Einstein, A.: Die Feldgleichungen der Gravitation (1915); Einstein, A.: Die Grundlage der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (1916); Einstein, A.: Kosmologische Betrachtungen zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (1917); Einstein, A. / de Sitter, W.: On the Relation between the Expansion and the Mean Density of the Universe (1932); Einstein, A.: Ele- mentary Derivation of the Equivalence of Mass and Energy, in: Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society 4 (1935), 223–230. 16 Barukčić, Ilija: Anti Einstein – Refutation of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, in: International Journal of Applied Physics and Mathematics 1 (2015), 18–28.

In other words, there is no third tensor between the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field (bµν ) and the tensor of ordinary matter or matter in the narrower sense (aµν ), a third tensor is not given, tertium non datur! “Considered phenomenologically, this energy tensor is composed of that of the electromagnetic field and of matter in the narrower sense. ” 18 Electromagnetic field bµν Ordinary matter aµν Fig. 1. Ordinary matter and electromagnetic field. Vranceanu19 is elaborating on this issue too. In other words, the energy tensor Tkl is treated by Vranceanu as the sum of two tensors one of which is due to the electromagnetic field (bµν ). “On peut aussi supposer que le tenseur d’énergie Tkl soit la somme de deux tenseurs dont un dû au champ électromagnétique . . . ” 20 Translated into English: ‘One can also assume that the energy tensor Tkl be the sum of two tensors one of which is due to the electromagnetic field.’In this context, it is necessary to make a distinction between the relationship between ordinary matter and electromagnetic field and matter and gravitational field. Our understanding of the relationship between matter and gravitational field is impacted by Einstein’s train of thoughts on this relationship. Einstein wrote: “Wir unterscheiden im folgenden zwischen ‘Gravitationsfeld ’und ‘Materie ’in dem Sinne, daß alles außer dem Gravitationsfeld als ‘Materie ’bezeichnet wird, also nicht nur die ‘Materie ’im üblichen Sinne, sondern auch das elektromagnetische Feld.” 21 Einstein’s position translated into English: We make a distinction hereafter between ‘gravitational field ’and ‘matter’in this way that everything but the gravitational field is termed as ‘matter’that is 17 Einstein, Albert: The meaning of relativity.

The field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism 7 to say not only ‘matter’in the ordinary sense, but the electromagnetic field as well. Following Einstein, matter and gravitational field are complementary to each other. In other words, all but gravitational field is matter or there is no third between matter and gravitational field, a third is not given. Matter is the complementary of gravitational field and vice versa. The gravitational field is the complementary of matter. Again, each of both is equally the comple- mentary of its own other. The following figure may illustrate this relationship in more detail. Gravitational field Matter Fig. 2. Matter and gravitational field. Definition 5 (Laue’s scalar T) Max von Laue (1879-1960) proposed the meanwhile so called Laue scalar22 (criticised23 by Einstein) as the contraction of the the stress–energy momentum tensor Tµν denoted as T and written with- out subscripts or arguments. Under conditions of Einstein’s general24 theory of relativity, it is T ≡ g µν × T µν (6) where Tµν “denotes the co-variant energy tensor of matter” 25 . In other words, “Considered phenomenologically, this energy tensor is composed of that of the electromagnetic field and of matter in the narrower sense.” 26 Definition 6 (Einstein’s field equations ) Let Rµν denote the Ricci ten- sor27 of ‘Einstein’s general theory of relativity’28 , a geometric object developed by Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro (1853 – 1925) able to measure of the degree to 22 Laue, M.: Zur Dynamik der Relativitätstheorie, in: Annalen der Physik 8 (1911), 524– 542. 23 Einstein, Albert / Grossmann, Marcel: Entwurf einer verallgemeinerten Relativitäts- theorie und einer Theorie der Gravitation: Physikalischer Teil von Albert Einstein.

12 Ilija Barukčić Definition 14 (The inverse metric tensor gµν and the metric tensor gµν ) Under conditions of Einstein’s general44 theory of relativity, it is45 : g µν × g µν ≡ +4 (17) or 1 1 µν ≡ (18) g µν ×g 4 where gµν is the matrix inverse of the metric tensor gµν . The inverse metric tensor or the metric tensor, which is always symmetric, allow tensors to be transformed into each other. Einstein’s point of view is that “... in the general theory of relativity ... must be ... the tensor gµν of the gravitational potential” 46 Definition 15 (Index raising) For an order-2 tensor, twice multiplying by the contra-variant metric tensor and contracting in different indices47 raises each index.

The field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism 13 3.2 Axioms 3.3 Axioms in general Axioms48 and rules which are chosen carefully can be of use to avoid logical inconsistency and equally preventing science from supporting particular ide- ologies. Rightly or wrongly, long lasting advances in our knowledge of nature are enabled by suitable axioms49 too. Einstein himself brings it again to the point.50 “Die wahrhaft großen Fortschritte der Naturerkenntnis sind auf einem der Induktion fast diametral entgegengesetzten Wege entstanden.” 51 Einstein’s previous position now been translated into English: The truly great advances in our understanding of nature originated in a manner almost diametrically opposed to induction. It is worth mentioning in this matter, Ein- stein himself advocated especially basic laws (axioms) and conclusions derived from the same as a main logical foundation of any ‘theory’. “Grundgesetz (Axiome) und Folgerungen zusammen bilden das was man eine ‘Theorie’ nennt. ” 52 Albert Einstein’s (1879-1955) message translated into English as: Basic law (axioms) and conclusions together form what is called a ‘theory’ has still to get round. However, it is currently difficult to ignore completely these his- torical and far reaching words of wisdom. The same taken more seriously and put into practice, will yield an approach to fundamental scientific problems which is more creative and sustainably logically consistent. Historically, Aris- totle himself already cited the law of excluded middle and the law of contradiction as examples of axioms. However, lex identitatis is an axiom too, which possess the potential to serve as the most basic and equally as the 48 Hilbert, David: Axiomatisches Denken, in: Mathematische Annalen 1 (1917), 405–415. 49 Easwaran, Kenny: The Role of Axioms in Mathematics, in: Erkenntnis 3 (2008), 381– 391. 50 see Einstein, Albert: Induktion and Deduktion in der Physik, in: Berliner Tageblatt and Handelszeitung (1919), Suppl. 4, hier p. 17.
14 Ilija Barukčić most simple axiom of science. Something which is really just itself is equally different from everything else. In point of fact, is such an equivalence which everything has to itself inherent or must the same be constructed by human mind and consciousness. Following Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716): “Chaque chose est ce qu’elle est. Et dans autant d’exemples qu’on voudra A est A, B est B. ” 53 or A = A, B = B or +1 = +1. In this context, lex contradictionis, the negative of lex identitatis, or +0 = +1 is of no minor importance too. 3.3.1 Axiom I. Lex identitatis To say that +1 is identical to +1 is to say that both are the same. Axiom 1. Lex identitatis. (g µν × g µν ) − 3 ≡ +1 (21) or +1 ≡ +1 (22) However, even such a numerical identity which seems in itself wholly unprob- lematic, for it indicates just to a relation which something has to itself and nothing else, is still subject to controversy. Another increasingly popular view is that the same numerical identity implies the controversial view that we are talking about two different numbers +1. The one +1 is on the left side on the equation, the other +1 is on the right side of an equation. The basicness of the relation of identity implies the contradiction too while circularity is avoided. In other words, how can the same +1 be identical with itself and be equally different from itself? We may usefully state that identity is an utterly problematic notion and might be the most troublesome of all. 3.3.2 Axiom II. Lex contradictionis Axiom 2. Lex contradictionis. (g µν × g µν − 3) − (g µν × g µν − 3) ≡ +1 (23) or +0 ≡ +1 (24) A considerable obstacle to understanding contemporary usage of the term contradiction, however, is that contradiction does not seem to be a unitary one. How can something be both, itself (a path is a straight line from the standpoint of a co-moving observer at a certain point in space-time) and the

We may simply deny the existence of objective or of any other contradictions. Furthermore, even if it remains especially according to Einstein’s special theory of relativity that it is not guaranteed that the notion of an absolute contradiction is justified, Einstein’s special theory of relativity insist that contradictions are objective and real. That this is so highlights the fact that from the standpoint of a co-moving observer, under certain circumstances, a path is a straight line and nothing else. However, under the same circumstances of special theory of relativity where the relative velocity v > 0, from the standpoint of a stationary observer the same path is a not a straight line, the path is curved. The justified question is, why should and how can an identical be a contradictory too? 3.3.3 Axiom III. Lex negationis Axiom 3.

18 Ilija Barukčić t u Remark 1 At least since gravitational waves were finally captured57 , it appears to be that general relativity theory is more and more on the way to become one of the icons of modern science. Therefore and in connection with other aspects, we might infer from this theorem thatEinstein’s tensor can be decomposed un- R der some well defined circumstances × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0 very 2 precisely. Under theses conditions, it is (Gµν ≡ +aµν + cµν ). However, even if no sweeping generalisation can be made that this theorem (theorem 2) is generally valid, this theorem would be of little or none worth if there were R no circumstances where the condition × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0 is 2 valid. Because of these objections, the phrase is always right that such a re- grettable generalisation is wrong as long as it is not possible to verify the result of this theorem (equation 47) through other theoretical or experimen- tal investigations. However and in deductivist style, under conditions where R × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0 the propositions are true and the infer- 2 R ences are valid. It is × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0. Further research 2 may provide evidence, whether this requirement is generally valid. 57 Abbott, B.

The field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism 19 Theorem 3 (The unity of gravitation and electromagnetism bµν + cµν ) What is gravitation? What is electromagnetism? Do they exist indepen- dently of each other and the geometry of space-time? Historically, the trial to describe all fundamental interactions in the sense of a unified field theory by objects of space-time geometry is ascribed especially to Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl (1885-1955)58 and Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882-1944)59 . Weyl’s generalisation of Riemannian geometry and his classical geometrical approach connected the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields as represented by the metrical field and a vector field. Eddington tried to provide physics with new foundations that covered everything in the physical world, from the universe at large to the tiny particle. However, one of the grand failures of Eddington’s philosophy of physics was that the laws of physics were treated as construc- tions60 of the physicists and were not expressions of processes or regularities in an external, objective and real world. Kaluza’s61 introduced a five dimension in order to approach to the unification of gravitation and electromagnetism. In point of fact and from an epistemological standpoint, neither Einstein nor the majority of other physicist were impressed by these and similar contributions. Claim.

A geometrization of the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field and the stress-energy tensor of matter of Einstein’s field equations in particular has been an indispensable foundation for the development of a completely geometrized67 theory of relativ- ity in order to overcome the difficulties inherent in this matter. Advantage is taken of a previous gemetriziation68 of Einstein’s field equation. A gener- ally covariant field equation for gravitation and electromagnetism is devel- 1 µc de oped as bµν + cµν ≡ × (F µ c × F ) − F de × F − Λ × g µν 8×π by considering especially the relationship to the metric tensor gµν . In order to formulate a logically consistent theory of quantum gravity or an unified field theory, it is necessary to change drastically several points of view. In this context, equation 65 justifies the question, does the gravitational field itself possess any kind of an energy density, stress et cetera or not? Einstein himself introduced a mathematical object in his final general theory of relativity for describing the energy components of the gravitational field by tσ α . “Es ist 62 see Tonnelat, Marie-Antoinette: La théorie du champ unifié d’Einstein et quelques-uns de ses développements, Paris (France) 1955, p. 5. 63 Barukčić, I.: Unified Field Theory (2016); idem: The Geometrization of the Electro- magnetic Field (2016). 64 Maxwell, J.

22 Ilija Barukčić zu beachten dass tσ α kein Tensor ist; . . . Die Größen tσ α bezeichnen wir als die ‘Energiekomponenten’des Gravitationsfelds. ” 69 However, soon Schrödinger70 and Bauer71 showed that the energy components of the gravitational field are equal to zero when the same should not be, and are not equal to zero when the same should be. The problem of the energy of the gravity field in general relativity appears to be solved or is at least solvable by equation 65. It is to be noted, that per definitionem all energy, radiation, stress et cetera is included exclusively within the stress-energy tensor of mat- ter, denoted by Eµν = aµν + bµν . Thus far, there is and cannot be any further energy left, which can be treated as being part of the gravitational field cµν itself. Therefore, the energy components of the gravitational field72 of Einstein’s general theory of relativity and require a further and definite clarification. 69 see Einstein, A.: Die Grundlage der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (1916), p. 806. 70 Schrödinger, Erwin: Die Energiekomponenten des Gravitationsfeldes, in: Physikalische Zeitschrift (1918), 4–7. 71 Bauer, Hans Adolf: Über die Energiekomponenten des Gravitationsfeldes, in: Physikalische Zeitschrift (1918), 163–165. 72 Ibid.; Schrödinger, E.: Die Energiekomponenten des Gravitationsfeldes (1918); Ein- stein, Albert: Notiz zu E.
