The diiffernces between a static and radiative electric field has always been a problem Myron so this again demonstrates the great power of ECE theory in improving clarity and understanding. It was necessary to unify the known forces of nature, and fields of physics, to achieve this deeper understanding.. Perhaps what you need to bring out in review paper 100 is that this unification is achieved in 4-D space-time. There is no need for multi-dimensional, multi-parameter theories, String Theory etc, to produce a unified field theory (ECE theory) that reduces to all the well known laws of physics.Best, Gareth
–Forwarded Message Attachment– This completes the background notes for review paper 100 section 5. The overall conclusion of section 5 is that the laws of classical electrodynamics in a GCUFT such as ECE are the same in vector formulation and FAPP as the laws in Maxwell Heaviside, but in each law the internal structure is revealed in a GCUFT. In the relation between field and potential the spin connection appears, and again the internal structure is different for each law. So a GCUFT gives much greater insight into electromagnetism than un-unified special relativitiy (nineteenth century MH). Not only is electromagnetism unified with gravitation and other fields, but its internal structure is revealed becasue the electromagnetic field is now proportional to components of the well known rank three angular energy / momentum density tensor, and also proportional to the rank three Cartan torsion. Thus for example a static electric field is distinguished from a radiated electric field in ECE theory. It is well known experimentally that the two types of field are different. A static electric field exists between static charges, a radiated electric field needs accelerated charges for its existence. So ECE is entirely self-consistent, consistent with the philosophy of relativity applied to all physics, and with a wide range of discriminating data. It is therefore a valid and powerful theory of natural philosophy.

Good point. The main part of paper 100 is a surevey or review and I think I should add a discussion section making points such as these. Then there are technical appendices and flow charts of equations. So hopefully this paper 100 will be the equivalent of the text book requested by Dave Feustel recently. The background notes are also useful to people who wish to go deeper into things. ECE is not really all that difficult for bright theroetical physics students with training in tensor analysis and differential geometry. This training is wasted at repsent on string theory, dark matter, superstrings, supersymmetry and all that political stuff that tows the standard model line. None of these impractical and unsubstantiated ideas are ever used outside a superspecialized section of physics. ECE may be difficult for chemists and engineers but section 5 reduces everything to the usual vector notation. All that has to be rememberd for practically minded people is that each law of electrodynamics develops an internal structure, and that the spin connection appears in the relation between field and potential. Since this is a geometrically based GCUFT, gauge theory is discarded. Relativity in any case pre-dates gauge theory by a long way. String theory and multi dimensional analysis is not needed to give a powerful GCUFT. After all, what we are after is the simpest way to describe nature, not the most complicated way (Ockham Razor).
