[...]... existence of a length parameter contained in my version of the generalized theory of gravitation (1) The Expansion of the universe with increasing acceleration is explained by recalling Einstein’s old cosmological constant that he had regretted for introducing it into general theory of relativity The result of the unified field theory leads to the existence of quintessential matter or just quintessence,... of the electromagnetic interaction with the weakest interaction, the gravitational force Independently of the quantum behavior of matter in the small, it is of great interest to see how and if a generalized theory of gravitation will lead to new results of the unified theory other than gravitation, as formulated within the concepts of general relativity In other words, in place of quantization of the. .. generalized theory of gravitation reduces to general relativity in the presence of the electromagnetic field without explicit appearance of the electric and magnetic charges The energy density q02 in the region of size r0 (Planck-length size) is, at the instant of Big Bang, of the order of 10114 ergs.cm-3 and it represents the energy density at the beginning of time when the size of the universe was of the. .. the order of r0 The entire evolution of the birth of the universe and its continuous expansion is governed by this intrinsic cosmological parameter r0 The presence of r0 has made it possible to answer the question “Why is the Universe expanding?” The fundamental relation (21) does in fact govern the general behavior of the universe including the process of nucleosynthesis and the elementary particles... result of the unification of gravitational field with the electromagnetic field In connection with the unified field theory it yields the results: (1) The mass of everything from the elementary particles all the way to the mass of the universe, is given by (22) (2) In the limit of r0 = 0 the field equations of the unified field theory reduces the field equations of the general theory of relativity (3) In. .. unfolding of gravity only say at one point and it does not embrace the entire evolution of an expanding universe In this paper I would like to point out that there exists a cosmological intrinsic parameter r0 11 which does everything that Einstein’s cosmological constant does and it also covers the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the present time The invariant length parameter r0 is the. .. current theories of elementary particle physics This work is an effort to start a new path by casting the author’s nonsymmetric generalization of the gravitation theory (1950-1952), versus those of Einstein and Schrödinger, within some of the mathematical methods and techniques of elementary particle physics In a unified theory the electromagnetic field that carries energy and momentum acts, therefore... forms of matter or energy experience gravitational interactions Therefore, we may expect the gravitational field to be the basis to unify all interactions The place of gravitation in physics in general and its role in elementary particle physics in particular have attracted the attention of the physicists of this and the passed century They have worked largely on the elementary particle aspects of gravitation... obtain the ten field equations (16) 8 The remaining field equations are (17) (18) where the magnetic current (19) The intrinsic cosmological parameter r is the basic reason for the unification of 0 the electromagnetic and the gravitational forces For the infinitely large values of r0 the field equations reduce to equations for the flat space-time and therefore we can assume that the radius of the universe... forces, respectively Furthermore, it is the difference between opposing gravitational forces of the dual system that governs the expansion of the universe The five most important advances, amongst others, in cosmology in the past six decades after Hubble’s observation in 1929 of the expanding universe, and after George Gamow’s theory of the Big-Bang creation of the universe, include, in chronological order: . class="bi x0 y0 w0 h0" alt="" The Role of Neutrinos, Strings, Gravity, and Variable Cosmological Constant in Elementary Particle Physics This page intentionally left blank.
