[...]... dependence of the light speed on the field variables of the electromagnetic radiation For Quantum Gravity, Generalized Theory of Gravitation and Superstring Theory- Based Unification Edited by Kursunoglu et al Kluwer Academic / Plenum Publishers New York, 2000 9 the purposes of this paper, this speed can be written as (2) _ where W = _ E +B2 is the energy density, W = B2 – E2 and A = B E are invariants of. .. electromagnetism and more precisely, these cosmic phenomena provide, beyond any shadow of doubt, dramatic demonstration for the “Unified theory of electromagnetism and gravitation” In the general relativistic theory of gravitation electromagnetic energy and momentum do act as a source of gravity but in the unified theory gravity itself can act as a source of electromagnetism In fact the unified theory does... on a proper analysis without having the benefit of a metric of space-time All of these considerations are of course compatible with Einstein’s theory of gravity Where c the speed of light, relates time to space In order to pursue further the significance of varying of the speed of light and its role in the important quantities like Planck Scale length and Planck Scale mass could be affected Should we...
