GR has gravitoelectric and gravitomagnetic phenomena that are remarkably analogous to EM phenomena. Isn't this just a consequence of special relativity? Regardless of their origins, these known characteristics of GR and EM are similar. Whether these particular similarities are important clues to a possible unification or just secondary curiosities remains to be seen. No, you completely miss the point. We already know the cause of this particular similarity, and it is not important in giving us any clues to a unification. Regards -- Charles Francis substitute charles for NotI to email |
