", "abstract": "We describe here an internally-consistent, Quantum coupled treatment of gravitation and electromagnetism. The electromagnetic part is put forth in Collective Electrodynamics\u2014Quantum Foundations of Electromagnetism [44], hereinafter referred to as CE, and described briefly in Section 1.3.1. The Gravitational theory described in this document, which we call G4v, is a direct extension of Einstein's 1911/12 approach. It differs from previous attempts in a number of important ways:\n\u2022 Neither the electromagnetic nor gravitational fields are quantized.\nThe wave functions and four-potentials are continuous functions of space and time.\nQuantization results from the interaction of matter and field wave functions.\n\u2022 The theory is based on Mach's Principle and provides a conceptual base for the Equivalence Principle.\n\u2022 It is not a metric theory; it is formulated in flat space-time.\nLengths are constant and do not vary with gravitation potential\n\u2022 The speed of light c is equal to the gravitational scalar potential.\nIt is not constant, but varies with position and time.\n\u2022 The quantity of matter coupled gravitationally is not the mass m.\nIt is the Compton wave number k0 = mc/~.\n\u2022 The theory is based on four-vector coupling.\nIt is thus locally Lorentz-invariant in regions where the speed of light can be considered constant.\n\u2022 The source of the electrical four-potential is the charge\u2013current density four-vector, and that for the\ngravitational four potential is the energy-momentum four-vector. Both quantities are defined for the wave\nfunction of the source matter, and appear as terms in the affected matter wave function.\nThe concept of force is not necessary, but can be computed if desired.", "date": "2023-03-21", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20230321-161151363", "isbn": "9781600490149", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20230321-161151363", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "doi": "10.7907/me3d-6f20", "primary_object": { "basename": "BOOK.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/vb1a8-21r54/files/BOOK.pdf" }, "resource_type": "book", "pub_year": "2023", "author_list": "Mead, Carver" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/ec6c4-eqt92", "eprint_id": 54339, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 05:06:12", "lastmod": "2023-10-20 16:19:39", "type": "book", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Mead-C-A", "name": { "family": "Mead", "given": "Carver A." } } ] }, "title": "Collective electrodynamics : quantum foundations of electromagnetism", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2000 The MIT Press.", "abstract": "[no abstract]", "date": "2000", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "The MIT Press", "place_of_pub": "Cambridge, MA", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20150203-162438256", "isbn": "0262133784", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150203-162438256", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "resource_type": "book", "pub_year": "2000", "author_list": "Mead, Carver A." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/0pwma-g7y55", "eprint_id": 52836, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 21:09:43", "lastmod": "2024-03-05 20:15:43", "type": "book", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Mead-C-A", "name": { "family": "Mead", "given": "Carver" }, "orcid": "0000-0003-4051-0462" } ] }, "title": "Analog VLSI and Neural Systems", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 1989 Addison-Wesley.", "abstract": "[No abstract]", "date": "1989", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Addison-Wesley", "place_of_pub": "Reading, MA", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20141215-163950138", "isbn": "0201059924", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20141215-163950138", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "collection": "CaltechAUTHORS", "resource_type": "book", "pub_year": "1989", "author_list": "Mead, Carver" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/5trtx-m1e15", "eprint_id": 52837, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 12:54:24", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 21:39:42", "type": "book", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Mead-C-A", "name": { "family": "Mead", "given": "Carver" } }, { "id": "Conway-L", "name": { "family": "Conway", "given": "Lynn" } } ] }, "title": "Introduction to VLSI Systems", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 1980 Addison-Wesley.", "abstract": "[No abstract]", "date": "1980", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Addison-Wesley", "place_of_pub": "Reading, MA", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20141215-164154773", "isbn": "0201043580", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20141215-164154773", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "resource_type": "book", "pub_year": "1980", "author_list": "Mead, Carver and Conway, Lynn" } ]
