This dissertation is not posted here with any intention to sell books.
Since 1959, the work has been small press printed, internationally distributed (in three languages) and sold out of print in ten hard copy editions of essays and books. It has yet to be disqualified. This is a publicly accessible condensation of the 627 page 6th edition of 1979, posted for the sole purpose of public enjoyment and education, with an invitation to whomever may care to correct, corroborate or otherwise comment upon.

I'm not sure what the point of the link was---I couldn't find any actualy physics, just quotes by a bunch of dead people who didn't have access to the experiments we have today (Farraday, Eddington, Einstein...).

Gravity IS NOT electromagnetism, no matter how much Einstein wanted it to be. I can show you how to fool yourself into THINKING gravity and electromagnetism look alike---just take gravity in five dimensions, compactify on a circle, and notice that the five dimensional graviton decomposes to a four dimensional tensor, a vector (that looks like it could be a photon), and a scalar, with mass on the order of the compactification scale. This was known to Kaluza and Klein in 1929. But Einstein (rightly) abandoned this approach because it wasn't clear to him what to do with the other scalar. Plus it leads to things like massive photons.

Is there a cosmological constant? Yes. Does it have anything to do with electromagnetism---probably (read: definitely) not. For one thing the scales are completely wrong---just use dimensional analysis to see this. The scale where electromagnetism becomes important is below the weak scale, 100 GeV or so (after electroweak symmetry breaking---see my higgs thread). The cosmological constant is much smaller than this. In nature, if something is REALLY big or REALLY small, then there is usually a reason for it.

So what's your point Kaidourkhon---you hate string theory? You don't understand GR? You think Einstein understood the cosmological constant, even though we didn't even know that the universe was accelerating untill 1998?

Hi Kaiduorkhon,
This thread seems like spam to me. If you want to discuss the content of the work, then perhaps you could summarise it or at least describe its intent?
