Classical unified fields: physical space (original) (raw)
We develop a general unified theory of classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism in a gravitational field on Friedman-Sch6uten space-time (FSS). In this formalism (i) local equations of a charged fluid in an electromagnetic field are the same as in classical mechanics, (ii)local equations for a moving charged fluid are the same as in electromagnetism, (iii) the path of a charged particle under gravity and electromagnetism is a geodesic of the four-dimensional FSS, and (iv)the strong equivalence principle and a nonzero torsion coexist without conflict.
