linear, predictable and organized fashion. Within the frame, all objects retain<br />

their relationships to one another. From the viewpoint <strong>of</strong> an external observer<br />

things may compress or twist, but the changes are seen as organized and can be<br />

moved to yet another reference frame in an organized fashion and later moved<br />

back to their original <strong>for</strong>m.<br />

Einstein’s Principle <strong>of</strong> General Relativity states that every theory <strong>of</strong><br />

physics should be generally covariant – that it should retain its <strong>for</strong>m under<br />

general coordinate trans<strong>for</strong>mations. A unified field theory should also be<br />

generally covariant. At present only gravitation is described by a generally<br />

covariant field equation - Einstein’s field equation <strong>of</strong> gravitation. This is written in<br />

tensor geometry.<br />

Electromagnetism has historically been seen as a <strong>for</strong>ce superimposed<br />

upon spacetime. It is some spinning energy but otherwise is unclear. <strong>The</strong><br />

“electro” part is charge – electrons and protons and their antiparticles.<br />

Charge polarizes spacetime into regions we see as positive and negative.<br />

<strong>The</strong> “magnetic” part can be seen as a field or invisible lines <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce which reach<br />

out and affect particles and other fields. Charge and magnetism are combined<br />

into the electromagnetic field. This was the first unification made in the 19 th<br />

century and described in the Maxwell equations.<br />

<strong>The</strong> weak <strong>for</strong>ce is seen in radioactivity. Its mediators are the W and Z<br />

bosons. Weak <strong>for</strong>ce holds the lone neutron together <strong>for</strong> about 10 minutes be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

it changes into an electron, proton, and anti-neutrino. It has been shown that the<br />

weak <strong>for</strong>ce and electromagnetism are the same thing at high energies – this<br />

unifies them into the electro-weak <strong>for</strong>ce. Gravitation and the strong <strong>for</strong>ce remain<br />

unconnected to the electro-weak <strong>for</strong>ce.<br />

<strong>The</strong> strong <strong>for</strong>ce holds atoms together. It has been described<br />

mathematically using three “quarks” which have never been seen physically but<br />

are surmised from particle scattering statistics. “Gluons” hold the quarks<br />

together. Although the quark-gluon description is usually given as gospel, the<br />

conceptual description is incomplete.<br />
