From Osher Doctorow
M. I. Wamas of Cairo University, Egypt has generalized Einstein's
Unified Field Theory of Electromagnetics (EM) and Gravitation in a
series of papers in arXiv (most of 25 papers 1994-2007), many of which
were published in Astrophysics J., Turk. J. Astrophys., Space Sci.,
Gravit. Cosmol, Proc. M. G. IV Part B, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys., etc.
See his latest paper, "An alternative source for dark energy," arXiv:
0704.3760 v1 [gr-qc] 27 Apr 2007, 3 pages, and his "On the relation
between mass and charge: a pure geometric approach," gr-qc/0703036 v1
6 Mar 2007, 15 pages, but especially one of his earliest and most
comprehensive papers 'Parametrized absolute parallelism: a geometry
for physical applications," gr-qc/0010099 v1 26 Oct 2000. In the
latter paper he gives tables comparing GR, EAP (Einstein's Absolute
Parallelism Theory), and ENS (Einstein's Non-Symmetric Theory) in 8
mathematical criteria and also compares them separately in the paper
on physical criteria, as well as developing the whole machinery from
"scratch".
The key things to remember about Wamas' approach are that he makes EM
and Gravitation symmetric in the equations and theory, unlike GR's
asymmetry between EM and Gravitation, that he emphasizes torsion and
tetrads as key variables, and that there are quite a few experimental
and computational and theoretical advantages of this approach, of
which he later in the last paper lists 10 and discusses them in detail
with references.
