In the Einstein field equations, the geometry or the curvature of space-time defined as depended on the distribution of mass and energy principally resides on the left-hand side is set identical to a non-geometrical tensorial representation of matter on the right-hand side. In one or another form, general relativity accords a direct geometrical significance only to the gravitational field while the other physical fields are not of space time. They reside only in space time. Less well known, though of comparable importance is Einstein’s dissatisfaction with the fundamental asymmetry between gravitational and non-gravitational fields and his contributions to develop a completely relativistic geometrical field theory of all fundamental interactions, a unified field theory. Of special note in this context and equally significant is Einstein’s demand to replace the symmetrical tensor field by a non-symmetrical one and to drop the condition g ik = g ki for the field components. Historically, many other attempts were made too, to extend the general theory of relativity’s geometrization of gravitation to non-gravitational interactions, in particular, to electromagnetism. Still, progress has been very slow. It is the purpose of this publication to provide a unified field theory in which the gravitational field, the electromagnetic field and other fields are only different components or manifestations of the same unified field by mathematizing the relationship between cause and effect under conditions of general theory of relativity.
The historical development of physics as such shows that formerly unrelated and separated parts of physics can be fused into one single conceptual formalism. Maxwell’s theory unified the magnetic field and the electrical field once treated as fundamentally different. Einstein’s special relativity theory provided a unification of the laws of Newton’s mechanics and the laws of electromagnetism [
Despite of the many and different approaches of theorists worldwide spanning so many of years taken to develop a unified field theory, to describe and to understand the nature at the most fundamental (quantum) level progress has been very slow. Thus far, a unification of all four fundamental interactions within one conceptual and formal framework has not yet met with success. Excellent and very detailed reviews, some of them in an highly and extraordinary satisfying way [
Past experience has shown that formerly published papers with new theoretical perspectives should be based on a clear terminology thus that contradictions and misunderstandings are prevented from the beginning. The views in this paper are different in some instances. Thus far, this paper is written such that physicists should be able to follow the technical aspects of the papers without any problems, while philosophers of science and other reader without prior knowledge of the mathematics or of tensor calculus and general relativity at least might gain an insight into the new concepts, methods, and scientific background involved. As will be seen, with regard to new insights and conclusions, the rest of the paper is organized as follows. In the section, we will give some basic definitions and a terminological distinction. View of the immense amount of literature known theories will be covered only as much as is necessary for a better understanding of this paper. I apologize for the shortcoming. In all the attempts to develop some basic fundamental insights, I will encounter a deductive-hypothetical methodological approach. Especially in section theorems, the starting point of the theorems is axiom +1 = +1 (lex identitatis) which serves as common ground for quantum and relativity theory. The section discussion examines some conditions and consequences of the theorems proved.
The Pythagorean (or Pythagoras’) theorem is of far reaching and fundamental importance in Euclidean Geometry and in science as such. In physics, the Pythagorean (or Pythagoras’) theorem serves especially as a basis for the definition of distance between two points. Historically, it is difficult to claim with a great degree of credibility that Pythagoras (~560 - ~480 B.C.) or someone else from his School was the first to discover this theorem.
There is some evidence, that the Pythagorean (or Pythagoras’) theorem was discovered on a Babylonian tablet [
where c represents the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side within a right angled triangle) and a and b represents the lengths of the triangle’s other two sides or legs (or catheti, singular: cathetus, greek: káthetos). Following Euclid (Elements Book I, Proposition 47) in right-angled triangles the sum of the squares on the sides containing the right angle equals the square on the side opposite the right angle.
The normalization of the Pythagorean theorem is defined as
where c represents the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side within a right angled triangle) and a and b represents the lengths of the triangle’s other two sides/legs.
We define the negation of x, denoted as n(x), as
We define the negation of anti x, denoted as n(x), as
In general, it is
In general, we define
where x and x denotes the segments on the hypotenuse c of a right angled triangle (c is the longest side within a right angled triangle).
Scholium.
Form this follows that (C × X) + (C × X) = C². Due to our definition above, it is (C × X) = a² and b² = (C × X). The Pythagorean theorem is valid even if x = 1 and x = +∞ −1 while c = +∞. Under these assumptions, the Pythagorean theorem is of use to prove the validity of the claim that +1/+0 = +∞. In general, the normalized form of negation is denoted as (1 −).
According to Euclid’s (ca. 360 - 280 BC) so called geometric mean theorem or right triangle altitude theorem or Euclid’s theorem, published in Euclid’s Elements in a corollary to proposition 8 in Book VI, used in proposition 14 of Book II [
where Δ denotes the altitude in a right triangle and x and x denote the segments on the hypotenuse c of a right angled triangle.
Scholium.
The variance of a right angled triangle, denoted as s(x)², can be defined as
where Δ denotes the altitude in a right triangle and x and x denote the segments on the hypotenuse c of a right angled triangle.
The gradient, denoted as grad(a, b), a measure of how steep a slope or a line is, is defined by dividing the vertical height a by the horizontal distance b of a right angled triangle. In other words, we obtain
Scholium.
The following picture of a right angled triangle may illustrate the background of a gradient
where b denotes the run; a denotes the rise and c denotes the slope length. The gradient has several meanings. In mathematics, the gradient is more or less something like a generalization of a derivative of a function in one dimension to a function in several dimensions. Consider a n-dimensional manifold with coordinates 1x, 2x, nx. The gradient of a function f(1x, 2x, nx) is defined as
Due to our definition above it is equally c² ´ n(x) = a². In this case c² is not identical to the speed of the light but with the hypotenuse, the longest side within a right angled triangle. Equally, it is c² ´ n(x) = b². In general, it is true that
In general, it is
where RE denotes the total (“relativistic”) energy of a system; Rm denotes the “relativistic” mass and c denotes the speed of the light in vacuum.

Einstein defined the matter/mass-energy equivalence as follows:
“Gibt ein Körper die Energie L in Form von Strahlung ab, so verkleinert sich seine Masse um L/V² … Die Masse eines Körpers ist ein Maß für dessen Energieinhalt” [
In other words, due to Einstein, energy and mass are equivalent.
“Eines der wichtigsten Resultate der Relativitätstheorie ist die Erkenntnis, daß jegliche Energie E eine ihr proportionale Trägheit (E/c²) besitzt” [
It was equally correct by Einstein to point out that matter/mass and energy are equivalent.
“Da Masse und Energie nach den Ergebnissen der speziellen Relativitätstheorie das Gleiche sind und die Energie formal durch den symmetrischen Energietensor (Tµv) beschrieben wird, so besagt dies, daß das G-Geld [gravitational field, author] durch den Energietensor der Materie bedingt und bestimmt ist” [

while the “particle-wave-dualism” [
where WE = (Rp ´ c) denotes the energy of an electro-magnetic wave and Rp denotes the “relativistic” momentum while c is the speed of the light in vacuum.
Following Einstein in his path of thoughts, we define the relativistic potential energy pE [
Scholium.
The definition of the relativistic potential energy pE is supported by Einstein’s publication in 1907. Einstein himself demands that there is something like a relativistic potential energy.
“Jeglicher Energie E kommt also im Gravitationsfelde eine Energie der Lage zu, die ebenso groß ist, wie die Energie der Lage einer ‘ponderablen’ Masse von der Größe E/c²” [
Translated into English:
“Thus, to each energy E in the gravitational field there corresponds an energy of position that equals the potential energy of a ‘ponderable’ mass of magnitude E/c²”.
The relativistic potential energy pE can be viewed as the energy which is determined by an observer P which is at rest relative to the relativistic potential energy. The observer which is at rest relative to the relativistic potential energy will measure its own time, the relativistic potential time pt.
The relativistic kinetic energy KE is defined [
where Rm denotes the “relativistic mass” and v denotes the relative velocity. In general, it is
where PE denotes the relativistic potential energy; KE denotes the relativistic kinetic energy; PH denotes the Hamiltonian of the relativistic potential energy; KH denotes the Hamiltonian of the relativistic kinetic energy. Multiplying this equation by the wave function RY, we obtain relativity consistent form of Schrödinger’s equation as
Scholium.
The historical background of the relativistic kinetic energy KE is back grounded by the long lasting and very famous dispute between Leibniz (1646-1716) and Newton (1642-1726). In fact, the core of this controversy was the dispute about the question, what is preserved through changes. Leibnitz himself claimed, that “vis viva” [
An accurate clock in motion slows down with respect a stationary observer (observer at rest). The proper time Ot of a clock moving at constant velocity v is related to a stationary observer’s coordinate time Rt by Einstein’s relativistic time dilation [
where Ot denotes the “proper” time; Rt denotes the “relativistic” (i.e. stationary or coordinate) time; v denotes the relative velocity and c denotes the speed of light in vacuum.
Scholium.
Coordinate systems can be chosen freely, deepening upon circumstances. In many coordinate systems, an event can be specified by one time coordinate and three spatial coordinates. The time as specified by the time coordinate is denoted as coordinate time. Coordinate time is distinguished from proper time. The concept of proper time, introduced by Hermann Minkowski in 1908 and denoted as Ot, incorporates Einstein’s time dilation effect. In principle, Einstein is defining time exclusively for every place where a watch, measuring this time, is located.
“… Definition … der … Zeit … für den Ort, an welchem sich die Uhr … befindet…” [
In general, a watch is treated as being at rest relative to the place, where the same watch is located.
“Es werde ferner mittels der imruhenden System befindlichen ruhenden Uhren die Zeit t [i.e. Rt, author] des ruhenden Systems … bestimmt, ebenso werde die Zeit t [Ot, author] des bewegten Systems, in welchen sich relativ zu letzterem ruhende Uhren befinden, bestimmt…” [
Due to Einstein, it is necessary to distinguish between clocks as such which are qualified to mark the time Rt when at rest relatively to the stationary system R, and the time Ot when at rest relatively to the moving system O.
“Wir denken uns ferner eine der Uhren, welche relativ zum ruhenden System ruhend die Zeit t [Rt, author], relativ zum bewegten System ruhend die Zeit t [Ot, author] anzugeben befähigt sind…” [
In other words, we have to take into account that both clocks i.e. observers have at least one point in common, the stationary observer R and the moving observer O are at rest, but at rest relative to what? The stationary observer R is at rest relative to a stationary co-ordinate system R, the moving observer O is at rest relative to a moving co-ordinate system O. Both co-ordinate systems can but must not be at rest relative to each other. The time Rt of the stationary system R is determined by clocks which are at rest relatively to that stationary system R. Similarly, the time Ot of the moving system O is determined by clocks which are at rest relatively to that the moving system O. In last consequence, due to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, a moving clock (Ot) will measure a smaller elapsed time between two events than a non-moving (inertial) clock (Rt) between the same two events.
As defined above, due to Einstein’s special relativity, it is
where Ot denotes the “proper” time, Rt denotes the “relativistic” (i.e. stationary or coordinate) time, v denotes the relative velocity and c denotes the speed of light in vacuum. Equally, it is

The metric tensor generalizes the Pythagorean theorem of flat space in a manifold with curvature. The metric tensor can be decomposed in many different ways. Let gµv = nµv + nµv where gµv is the metric tensor of general relativity; nµv is the tensor of special relativity and nµv is the anti tensor of general relativity. In general theory of relativity, the scalar Newtonian gravitational potential is replaced by the metric tensor. “In particular, in general realtivity, the gravitational potential is replaced by the metric tensor gab” [
In the following, we define the normalized metric tensor nµv, while using Einstein’s summation convention, as

where Gµv is the Einsteinian tensor; Tµv is the stress-energy tensor of matter (still a field devoid of any geometrical significance); Rµv denotes the Ricci tensor (the curvature of space); R denotes the Ricci scalar (the trace of the Ricci tensor); Λ denotes the cosmological “constant” and gµv denotes the metric tensor (a 4 × 4 matrix) and where p is Archimedes’ constant (p = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209…) and g is Newton’s gravitational “constant” and the speed of light in vacuum is c = 299,792,458 [m/s] in S. I. units.
Scholium.
The stress-energy tensor Tµv, still a tensor devoid of any geometrical significance, contains all forms of energy and momentum which includes all matter present but of course any electromagnetic radiation too. Originally, Einstein’s universe was spatially closed and finite. In 1917, Albert Einstein modified his own field equations and inserted the cosmological constant Λ (denoted by the Greek capital letter lambda) into his theory of general relativity in order to force his field equations to predict a stationary universe.
“Ich komme nämlich zu der Meinung, daß die von mir bisher vertretenen Feldgleichungen der Gravitation noch einer kleinen Modifikation bedürfen…” [
By the time, it became clear that the universe was expanding instead of being static and Einstein abandoned the cosmological constant Λ. “Historically the term containing the ‘cosmological constant’ l was introduced into the field equations in order to enable us to account theoretically for the existence of a finite mean density in a static universe. It now appears that in the dynamical case this end can be reached without the introduction of l” [
Independently of the tensors of the theory of general relativity, we introduce by definition the following covariant second rank tensors of yet unknown structure whose properties we leave undetermined as well. We define the following covariant second rank tensors of yet unknown structure as

These tensors above may have different meanings depending upon circumstances. The unified field RWµv can be decomposed into several (sub-) fields Aµv, Bµv, Cµv, Dµv. In order to achieve unification between general relativity theory and quantum (field) theory the (sub-) fields Aµv, Bµv, Cµv, Dµv can denote the four basic fields of nature. The idea of quantum field theory is to describe a particle as a manifestation of an abstract field. In this context the particle ai can be associated with the field Aµv, the particle bi can be associated with the field Bµv, the particle ci can be associated with the field Cµv, the particle di can be associated with the field Dµv. Thus far, we can define something like Aµv = ai × FAµv and Bµv = bi × FBµv and Cµv = ci × FCµv and Dµv = di × FDµv where the subscript F can denote an individual particle field. Under conditions of general relativity, Einstein field equation can be rewritten (using the tensors above) as

Following Einstein’s own position, the constancy of the speed of the light c is something relative and nothing absolute. Theoretically, circumstances are possible where the speed of the light is not constant. Einstein himself linked the constancy of the speed of the light c to a constant gravitational potential.
“Dagegen bin ich der Ansicht, daß das Prinzip der Konstanz der Lichtgeschwindigkeit sich nur insoweit aufrecht erhalten läßt, als man sich auf raum-zeitliche Gebiete von konstantem Gravitationspotential beschränkt. Hier liegt nach meiner Meinung die Grenze der Gültigkeit … des Prinzips der Konstanz der Lichtgeschwin- digkeit und damit unserer heutigen Relativitätstheorie” [
Thus far a tensor of the speed of the light is of use to face these theoretical possibilities.

Archimedes constant p is an irrational number, p never settles into a permanent repeating pattern, the decimal representation of Archimedes constant p never ends.

Similar to general theory of relativity, it is at present appropriate to introduce a corresponding energy tensor, a tensor which represents the amounts of energy, momentum, pressure, stress et cetera in the space, a tensor which describes the energy/matter/momentum et cetera distribution (at each event) in space. The energy tensor expressed mathematically by a symmetrical tensor of the second rank of yet unknown structure is defined as

General relativity’s geometry of space and time is one but not the only one geometry of space and time. Especially general relativity’s stress-energy tensor as the source-term of Einstein’s field equations is still a field devoid of any geometrical significance. A geometrical tensorial representation of the stress energy tensor of energy is possible as

The stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field is equivalent to the portion of the stress-energy tensor of energy due to the electromagnetic field. In this approach, we are following Vranceanu in his position, that the energy tensor Tkl can be treated as the sum of two tensors one of which is due to the electromagnetic field.

In English:

Tensors independent of any coordinate system or frame of reference as generalizations of scalars (magnitude, no direction associated with a scalar) which have no indices and other mathematical objects (vectors (single direction), matrices) to an arbitrary number of indices may be operated on by tensor operators or by other tensors. In general, tensors can be represented by uppercase Latin letters and the notation for a tensor is similar to that of a matrix even if a tensor may be determined by an arbitrary number of indices. A distinction between covariant and contravariant indices is made. A component of a second-rank tensor is indicated by two indices. Thus far, a component of any tensor of any tensor rank which vanishes in one particular coordinate system, will vanish in all coordinate systems too.

This article does not intend to give a review of the history of the identity law (principium identitatis). In the following it is useful to sketch, more or less chronologically, and by trailing the path to mathematics, the history of attempts of mathematizing the identity law. The identity law was used in Plato’s dialogue Theaetetus, in Aristotle’s Metaphysics (Book IV, Part 4) and by many other authors too. Especially, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) expressed the law of identity as everything is that what it is. “Chaque chose est ce qu’elle est. Et dans autant d’exemples qu’on voudra A est A, B est B” [
Lex identitatis or the identity law or principium identitatis can be expressed mathematically in the very simple form as +1 = +1. Consequently, +1 is only itself, simple equality with itself, it is only self-related and unrelated to another, +1 is distinct from any relation to another, +1 contains nothing other, no local hidden variable, but only itself, +1. In this way, there does not appear to be any relation to another, any relation to another is removed, any relation to another has vanished. Consequently, +1 is just itself and thus somehow the absence of any other determination. +1 is in its own self only itself and nothing else. In this sense, +1 is identical only with itself, +1 is thus just the “pure” +1. Let us consider this in more detail, +1 is not the transition into its opposite, the negative of +1, denoted as −1, is not as necessary as the +1 itself, +1 is not confronted by its other, +1 is without any opposition or contradiction, is not against another, is not opposed to another, +1 is identical only with itself and has passed over into pure equality with itself. But lastly, identity as different from difference, contains within itself the difference itself. Thus, it is the same +1 which equally negates itself, +1 in the same respect is in its self-sameness different from itself and thus self-contradictory. It is true, that +1 = +1, but it is equally true that −1 = −1. It is the same 1 which is related to a +1 and a −1. It is the +1 which excludes at the same time the other out of itself, the −1, out of itself, +1 is +1 and nothing else, it is not −1, it is not +2, it is not … Especially +1 is at the same time not −1, +1 is thus far determined as non being at least as non-being of its own other. In excluding its own other out of itself, +1 is excluding itself in its own self. By excluding its own other, +1 makes itself into the other of what it excludes from itself, or +1 makes itself into its own opposite, +1 is thus simply the transition of itself into its opposite, +1 is therefore determined only in so far as it contains such a contradiction within itself. The non-being of its other (−1) is at the end the sublation of its other. This non-being is the non-being of itself, a non-being which has its non-being in its own self and not in another; each contains thus far a reference to its other. Not +1 (i.e. −1) is the pure other of +1. But at the same time, not +1 only shows itself in order to vanish; the other of +1 is not. In this context, +1 and not +1 are distinguished and at the same time both are related to one and the same 1, each is that what it is as distinct from its own other. Identity is thus far to some extent at the same time the vanishing of otherness. +1 is itself and its other, +1 has its determinateness not in another, but in its own self. +1 is thus far self-referred and the reference to its other is only a self-reference. On closer examination +1 therefore is, only in so far as its Not +1 is, +1 has within itself a relation to its other. In other words, +1 is in its own self at the same time different from something else or +1 is something. It is widely accepted that something is different from nothing, thus while +1 = +1 it is at the same time different from nothing or from non- +1. From this it is evident, that the other side of the identity +1 = +1 is the fact, that +1 cannot at the same time be +1 and −1 or not +1. In fact, if +1 = +1 then +1 is not at the same time not +1. What emerges from this consideration is, therefore, even if +1 = +1 it is a self-contained opposition, +1 is only in so far as +1 contains this contradiction within it, +1 is inherently self-contradictory, +1 is thus only as the other of the other. In so far, +1 includes within its own self its own non-being, a relation to something else different from its own self. Thus, +1 is at the same time the unity of identity with difference. +1 is itself and at the same time its other too, +1 is thus contradiction. Difference as such it unites sides which are, only in so far as they are at the same time not the same. +1 is only in so far as the other of +1, the non +1 is. +1 is thus far that what it is only through the other, through the non +1, through the non-being of itself. From the identity +1 = +1 follows that +1 − 1 = 0. +1 and −1 are negatively related to one another and both are indifferent to one another, +1 is separated in the same relation. +1 is itself and its other, it is self-referred, its reference to its other is thus a reference to itself; its non-being is thus only a moment in it. +1 is in its own self the opposite of itself, it has within itself the relation to its other; it is a simple and self-related negativity. Each of them are determined against the other, the other is in and for itself and not as the other of another. +1 is in its own self the negativity of itself. +1 therefore is, only in so far as its non-being is and vice versa. Non +1 therefore is, only in so far as its non-being is, both are through the non-being of its other, both as opposites cancel one another in their combination, it is +1 − 1 = 0.

The law of non-contradiction (LNC) is still one of the foremost among the principles of science and equally a fundamental principle of scientific inquiry too. Without the principle of non-contradiction we could not be able to distinguish between something true and something false. There are arguably many versions of the principle of non-contradiction which can be found in literature. The method of reductio ad absurdum itself is grounded on the validity of the principle of non-contradiction. To be consistent, a claim/a theorem/a proposition/a statement et cetera accepted as correct, cannot lead to a logical contradiction. In general, a claim/a theorem/a proposition/a statement et cetera which leads to the conclusion that +1 = +0 is refuted.

A methodological important point in the process of the establishment of field equations for the unified field theory is the relationship between quantum theory and (classical) field theory. The basic assumptions of quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (GR) contradict each other. Even general relativity (GR) is not free of inconsistencies. According to the singularity theorem of Hawking and Penrose (1970) near singularities the pure classical theory of general relativity becomes incomplete and inconsistent. Thus far, attempts to quantize gravity have encountered fundamental difficulties. In this context, with regard to the unified field theory, an extension of general relativity, this trial to bridge the gap between quantum theory and (classical) field theory yields the derivation of quantum theory as a consequence of the unified field theory. A satisfactory quantization of the gravitational field still remains to be achieved.

In general, the modification of our understanding of space and time undergone through Einstein’s relativity theory is indeed a profound one. But even Einstein’s relativity theory does not give satisfactory answers to a lot of questions. One of these questions is the problem of the “true” tensor of the gravitational field. The purpose of this publication is to provide some new and basic fundamental insights by the proof that the gravitational field and time is equivalent even under conditions of the general theory of relativity.
Einstein’s successful geometrization of the gravitational field in his general theory of relativity does not include a geometrized theory of the electromagnetic field too. The theoretical physicists working in the field of the general theory of relativity were not able to succeed in finding a convincing geometrical formulation of the gravitational and electromagnetic field. Still, electromagnetic fields are not described by Riemannian metrics. More serious from the conceptual point of view, in order to achieve unification, with the development of quantum theory any conceptual unification of the gravitational and electromagnetic field should introduce a possibility that the fields can be quantized. In our striving toward unification of the foundations of physics a relativistic field theory we are looking for should therefore be an extension of the general theory of relativity and equally and of no less importance a generalization of the theory of the gravitational field. In the attempt to solve these problems one meets at least with another difficulty. Einstein was demanding that “the symmetrical tensor field must be replaced by a non-symmetrical one. This means that the condition gik = gki for the field components must be dropped” [
Evidently, following up these trains of thoughts and in view of all these difficulties, the following theory is based on a (gravitational) field of more complex nature. Still, in our attempt to obtain a deeper knowledge of the foundations of physics the new and basic concepts are in accordance with general relativity theory from the beginning but with philosophy too. In general, energy, time and space are deeply related and interacting like the one with its own other and vice versa.

It is very easy to get lost in the many different attempts by Weyl, Kaluza, Eddington, Bach, Einstein and other to include the electromagnetic field into a geometric setting. The point of departure to “geometrize” the electromagnetic field was general relativity. In view of the immense amount of material, neither a brief technical descriptions of the various unified field theories nor all the contributions from the various scientific schools to unify the electromagnetic and gravitational field can be discussed with the same intensity. The joining of previously separated electromagnetic and gravitational field within one conceptual and formal second rank tensor is based on a deductive-hypothetical methodological approach. Einstein himself spent decades of his life on the unification of the electromagnetic with the gravitational field. Mie, Hilbert, Ishiwara, Nordström and others joined Einstein in his unsuccessful hunt for progress on this matter.

Still, one of the major unsolved problems in physics is the unification of gravity with all the other interactions of nature. Such a unification would have to provide a theoretical framework of a theory of everything which fully would explain and link together all physical aspects of objective reality. Einstein’s theoretical framework of the theory of general relativity focuses mostly on gravity as being curvature of space time. The curvature of space time is expressed mathematically using the metric tensor―denoted gµv. Curvature itself is caused by the presence of energy/matter and accelerating energy/matter generate changes in this curvature. Changes in the curvature of space time propagate in a wave-like manner and are known as gravitational waves.

There are circumstances, where the tensor Wgµv is identical with the tensor of the gravitational waves. Whether this is the case in general is a point of further research. It is convenient to consider the existence of gravitational waves in analogous manner to electromagnetic waves. Before going on to discuss this aspect in more detail one could expect gravitational waves to carry energy away from a radiating source. However, there are some shortcomings of such an approach. Assigning an energy density to a gravitational field is notoriously difficult, both in principle and technically. In general relativity, the energy momentum of a gravitational field at one point in space-time has no real meaning. One way of circumventing such a problem is to take seriously the fact that all energy and momentum is contained within the stress-energy tensor. This has the important consequence that there is no energy and momentum left, which could be put within an own energy momentum tensor of the gravitational field.

As long as humans have been trying to understand the laws of objective reality, they have been proposing theories. In contrast to the well-known quantum theory, the most fundamental theory of matter currently available, Laplace’s demon and Einstein’s Weltformel are related more widely at least by standing out against the indeterminacy as stipulated by today’s quantum theory. Randomness as such does not exclude a deterministic relationship between cause and effect, since every random event has its own cause. The purpose of this publication is to provide a satisfactory description of the microstructure of space-time by mathematising the deterministic relationship between cause and effect at quantum level in the form of a mathematical formula of the causal relationship k. Despite of our best and different approaches of theorists worldwide spanning more than thousands of years taken to describe the workings of the universe in general, to understand the nature at the most fundamental quantum level and to develop a theory of everything progress has been very slow. There are a lot of proposals and interpretations, some of them grounded on a picturesque interplay of observation and experiment with ideas. In short, the battle for the correct theory is not completely free of metaphysics. Yet, besides of the many efforts and attempts to reconcile quantum (field) theory with general relativity an ultimate triumph of human reason on this matter is not in sight. There is still no single theory which provides a genuine insight and understanding of gravity and quantum mechanics, one of the most cherished dreams of physics and of science as such. Einstein’s Weltformel or a “final” or “ultimate” theory of everything (ToE) as a hypothetical theoretical framework of philosophy, mathematics and physics capable of describing all phenomena of objective reality should rest at least on general relativity (GR) and quantum (field) theory (Q(F)T). Still, physicists have experimentally confirmed that (GR) and (Q(F)T) as they are currently formulated are to some extent mutually incompatible and cannot both be right in the same respect. Thus far, some of today’s front runners are the string theory, the loop quantum gravity et cetera and the quantum field theory. Among the numerous alternative proposals for reconciling quantum physics and general relativity theory, the mathematical and conceptual framework of quantum field theory

(Q(F)T) covers the electromagnetic, the weak and the strong interaction. In quantum field theory, there is a field associated to each type of a fundamental particle that appears in nature. However, quantization of a classical field proposed by quantum field theory is (philosophically) unsatisfactory since the very important and fundamental force in nature, gravitation, has defied quantization so far. The problems are related to the quantum mechanical framework as such. The usual axioms of quantum mechanics say that observables are represented by Hermitian operators which are not entirely true. At least one observable in quantum mechanics is not represented by a Hermitian operator: the time itself. Today, the time itself enters into the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics but not as an eigenvalue of any operator. Our subsequent discussion will be restricted almost completely to both, the principles of general relativity and quantum theory.
Claim.
In general, the mathematical formula of the causal relationship k (Einstein’s Weltformel) covariant under a class of general coordinates transformations i.e. the same in all the reference frames, namely in all coordinates systems, follows as

The range of the causal relationship is
Causality and determinism (and prediction) are often equated even if both are not really the same. For a variety of reasons such an approach to determinism and causality is fraught with many problems. A further problem is posed by the fact that, as today widely recognized, the fundamental, exceptionless laws of nature are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics which itself is widely thought to be a strongly non-deterministic [
Laplace demon translated into English:
“We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes”.
Thus far, to avoid certain major errors of definition, the geometrical tensorial representation of the mathematical formula of the causal relationship k (Einstein’s Weltformel) as
is valid for a chaotic and random system too and cannot be reduced to Laplace demon and his articulation of causal or scientific determinism.
Einstein had started unifying the electromagnetic and gravitational fields via pure geometry into a unified field [
For the convenience of the reader, some of the mathematical formalism given by general relativity theory is repeated in a slightly extended form only as much as needed for an understanding of this paper. In general, for the geometrization and the quantization of the fields, various geometric frameworks can be chosen. The geometrical structures of the underlying probability field enable the transformation to different geometric frameworks.
Under conditions of general theory of relativity, we obtain the following relationships (
Under conditions where curvature excludes momentum, the stress-energy tensor of ordinary matter 0Eµv is equi- valent to zero we obtain (

Such a manifold is determined by the fact that all energy and momentum is contained within the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field.
Under conditions of general relativity, there are circumstances where momentum implies curvature. Such manifolds are determined by the stress-energy tensor of the electro-magnetic field which is equal 0Eµv = 0. Under these conditions we obtain
The following 2 × 2 table may illustrate these circumstances (
Under conditions of general relativity, manifolds can be determined by the fact that without momentum no curvature. Under these conditions it is
and the stress energy tensor of the electromagnetic field is determined by the equation
The question of course is, are there circumstances at all, where the stress energy tensor of the electromagnetic field is determined by the equation before.The following 2 × 2 table may illustrate these circumstances (

At the end, either momentum or curvature manifolds are described by the equation
where Λ denotes anti lamda, the anti cosmological constant. Under these conditions, anti lambda describes the geometrical structures underlying the unified hyper-field of electromagnetism and gravitation, the unifying of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields into a hyper-field via pure geometry.
For the geometrization of fields, various geometric frameworks can be chosen. This probability theory compatible approach to the unified field theory enables the use of different geometric frameworks depending upon circumstances. The relationship between cause and effect is expressed completely in the language of tensors while demonstrating the close relationship to Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Einstein’s field equation.
