I've read the Einstein digital papers, and note that Einstein referred to a gravitational field as a pace where space was "neither homogeneous nor isotropic". He also referred to a varying speed of light, and light refracting downward like any wave moving through a medium where there's an orthogonal gradient in wave speed.
Other old papers make me think that an electromagnetic field is a place where space is curved, or twisted if you prefer, electromagnetism being associated with twist and turn. I can find old references to eg Maxwell talking about a transverse undulations and a screw mechanism, but I can't find any contemporary references. Can anybody point to any?
Many thanks Preston. I shall study that with interest. I particularly liked what you said about the neutron. I've said the same here: The neutron – THE PHYSICS DETECTIVE. Rutherford was right, and electron capture does what it says on the tin. The nuclear force plot matches the neutron charge distribution.
John Duffield We don't know everything about the electromagnetic field, read the short articles I posted on this site about the research we are doing.
The full formula for the electromagnetic field contains one of the components that everyone ignores, and it is related to the gravitational flow.
I don't know about what Preston Guynn writes, but space is curved where there is an electromagnetic field, due to the energy density from the field that curves space in the same way that the equivalent mass density would. This has a gravitational effect, and I think not an electromagnetic effect.
Dear Malcolm White the electromagnetic field, in its full formula, one of the parameters that was annulled to us, is connected with the gravitational flow. It turns out that the electromagnetic field is a kind of connecting link from the non-material world (vacuum, dark energy, dark matter, ether or take any other name) and the material world (atoms and molecules).
