¿Einstein’s

Final Quest –

Fulfilled at Last?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Reader,

 

After his publication of his universal gravitational field equations – his “General Theory of Relativity – in my humble opinion perhaps the greatest intellectual achievement in human history to-date – Einstein spent the rest of his life working to discover a “theory of everything” in the sense of a system of equations that would unify the then-known forces of nature; principally the gravitic and electromagnetic forces.

 

Despite years of effort toward his goal, Einstein died before he could fulfill this, his final quest – his quest for this “Unified Field Theory”.

 

Discussions of Einstein’s published progression of “Unified Field Theory” equations-systems, each advancing further towards Einstein’s goal, are hard to find today.  The official mantra on Einstein’s efforts is that they all “failed [absolutely]”. 

 

But “absolute” failure, in science, is no more prevalent than “absolute” success.  The ‘Rocke-Nazis’ appear to have ordered an early “cancel-culture cancellation” and outlawing of any and all discussion of Einstein’s final achievements within the, “respectable” – i.e., ‘Rocke-Nazi’-controlled – “scientific establishment”.  One has to wonder: ¿Why?  

 

Recently, Phys.org, in an article by Jussi Lundgren, reported on a potential breakthrough to the kind of unified theory that Einstein sought for so long: “Finally, it seems that we have found a unified framework to accommodate the theory of electricity and magnetism within a purely geometric theory.  This means that  electromagnetic and gravitational forces are both manifestations of ripples and curvatures in spacetime geometry.”

 

The above claim is startling, in that the main line of recent physicists’ efforts to find a “theory of everything”, by unifying General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics, start from the Quantum Mechanics side, and try to incorporate General Relativity from that side.

 

Few physicists have sought to reach unification starting from the General-Relativistic “geometrodynamics” side; that has been a neglected approach.

 

The article’s writer continues “In our approach, electric charge and electric currents, as well as electromagnetic forces, are seen as purely geometrical and immanent properties of spacetime itself, and not as some external objects. … .  It turns out that the four-dimensional electromagnetic potential is really a building block of the metric tenor of spacetime. … .  When the variation of the metric tensor is optimized using functional derivatives, the necessary optimality conditions yield a new, nonlinear generalization of Maxwell’s equations.”

 

We have long been suspicious how, while most of the major “laws of nature” equations are nonlinear – e.g., take form as nonlinear partial differential equations, including the Navier-Stokes Equations for hydrodynamics, the Vlasov Equation for plasma dynamics, and the ten simultaneous quadratic nonlinear differential equations of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity itself – that, among them, only the Maxwell Equations for the dynamics of the electromagnetic field, and the Schrödinger Equation of Quantum Mechanics, are linear differential equations.

 

The writer continues “In the classical theory of electromagnetism, Maxwell’s equations governing [M.D.: note reification/inversion] electric and magnetic fields are linear partial differential equations.  In our approach, optimal metrics are required to be harmonic, which gives nonlinear field equations for the electromagnetic potentials, and Maxwell’s equations as a special linear case.  The field equations then give the correct dynamics for the electromagnetic field.”

 

Next, the author notes something that, to my reading, must have implications for Quantum Mechanics, for “Standard Model particles”, and for the linear version of the Schrödinger Equations family: “We discovered that on top of the new nonlinear field equations, electric charge is related to the local divergence or compression of spacetime.  Charge is therefore a field, which has its own laws of motion.”

Many of the “particles” of the, presently-prevailing, “Standard Model of Particle Physics” have – ¿or ARE? – [electromagnetic] charges!

One of the profoundest implications of a “Unified Field Theory” that unifies even only just the gravity field and the electromagnetic field, is the potential to construct machines that would covert gravitational fields into electromagnetic fields, and machines that would covert electromagnetic field energy into gravitational field energy or into anti-gravitational field energy, and that might provide the kind of propulsion mechanisms that the latter might make possible.

There are other recent attempts at realizing Einstein’s Unified Field Theory that have achieved similar results, and even more, in terms of nonlinear generalizations of Quantum Mechanics, such as that of the late Mendel Sachs, which I plan to address in future blog-entries on this topic.
