The Missing Mass of the Milky Way Galaxy

This work verifies the principle that gravitation is caused by {\it energy} and not simply by mass alone. A model is proposed in which cosmic ray protons flow radially through the galaxy. The resulting electric field energy creates a gravitational force, in addition to the conventional Newtonian force. The model yields a rotation curve that agrees in detail with the experimental curve. The total electric field energy is calculated. It is the missing mass of the galaxy.

Gravity and the Fermion Mass

It is shown that gravity generates mass for the fermion. It does so by coupling directly with the spinor field. The coupling term is invariant with respect to the electroweak gauge group $ U(1) \otimes SU(2)_L. $ It replaces the fermion mass term $ m\barψ ψ$.

Gravity and the Electroweak Theory

It is shown that gravitational coupling creates inertia for the electron. The coupling term does not mix right- and left-handed spinor components. Therefore, the corresponding electroweak term is invariant under U(1) X SU(2)_L gauge transformations. The solution is given for an electron in uniform motion.

Einstein's Violation of General Covariance

Einstein rejected the differential law of energy-momentum conservation $ T^{μν}_{;ν} = 0 $. In doing so, he violated the principle of general covariance. Here, we prove the conservation law $ T^{μν}_{;ν} = 0 $ and discuss its significance for general relativity.

Farewell to General Relativity

The kinematical successes of general relativity are legendary: the perihelion precession, the gravitational red-shift, the bending of light. However, at the level of dynamics, relativity is faced with insurmountable difficulties. It has failed to define the energy, momentum, and stress of the gravitational field. Moreover, it offers no expression of energy-momentum transfer to or from the gravitational field. These are symptoms of a far graver malady: general relativity violates the principle of energy conservation.

Manifestly Covariant Relativity

According to Einstein's principle of general covariance, all laws of nature are to be expressed by manifestly covariant equations. In recent work, the covariant law of energy-momentum conservation has been established. Here, we show that this law gives rise to a fully covariant theory of gravitation and that Einstein's field equations yield total energy-momentum conservation.

Note on "Electromagnetism and Gravitation"

We obtain Hamilton equations for the gravitational field and demonstrate the conservation of total energy. We derive the Poisson bracket equation for a general dynamical variable.

Einstein's Energy-Free Gravitational Field

We show that Einstein's gravitational field has zero energy, momentum, and stress. This conclusion follows directly from the gravitational field equations, in conjunction with the differential law of energy-momentum conservation $ T^{μν}_{;ν} = 0 $. Einstein rejected this conservation law despite the fact that it is generally covariant. We trace his rejection to a misapplication of Gauss' divergence formula. Finally, we derive the formula which pertains to energy-momentum conservation.

Electromagnetism and Gravitation

The classical concept of "mass density" is not fundamental to the quantum theory of matter. Therefore, mass density cannot be the source of gravitation. Here, we treat electromagnetic energy, momentum, and stress as its source. The resulting theory predicts that the gravitational potential near any charged elementary particle is many orders of magnitude greater than the Newtonian value.

Gravity, Geometry, and Equivalence

We show that the energy-momentum four-vector of a planet, p = mu, is conserved during geodesic motion. Therefore, there is no exchange of energy-momentum with the gravitational field. We discuss the meaning of a gravitational field which is free of energy, momentum, and stress.
