THE STRONG EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE FOR ELECTRODYNAMICS AND THE UNIFICATION OF GRAVITY AND ELECTROMAGNETISM |
The Strong Equivalence Principle for classical electrodynamics can be formulated in a certain symmetric limit of the universe, laying the foundation for a geometric theory of electrodynamics and a unified theory of classical gravity and electromagnetism. Certain interesting consequences of this postulate for cosmology will be pointed out. |
