A Look at Schmutzer's New Projective Unified Field Theory

Abstract

This short letter refers to Schmutzer’s 5-dimensional Projective Unified Field Theory as a new general-relativistic covariant unification of gravitation, electromagnetism and scalarism. The scalarism appearing in the theory is a new phenomenon of nature, which can be interpreted as dark matter. A number of applications to the orbits of spaceships, planets and stars in galaxies as well as to the cosmos as a whole generate new effects that go beyond the known statements of the Einstein-Maxwell theory.
