Basic relations of a unified theory of electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and gravitation |
Abstract _ |
Quantum mechanics once started with Planck's energy-frequency relation which is derived here as an exemplification. This is done using the basic relations of a consistent scalar-vector-tensor theory founded on solid principles of classical physics including special and general relativity. There is a direct way leading to a natural quantization of Maxwell's equations, to the Klein-Gordon equation with an unconventional normalization, or to the completion of Einstein's equations by a quantum energy-momentum tensor of matter. Approximations yield the macroscopic phenomenological counterpart of the last implying the gravitational laws of motion, the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation, or Schroedinger's conceptualizing eigenvalue problem. The theory seems open for extensions. |
