The Significance of Precursor Electromagnetic Waves in Special and General Relativity

Lawrence M. Stephenson

Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College, London, WC1E 7JE England

Although the mathematics of special relativity is not open to question, the interpretation of the mathematics, especially regarding its relationship with quantum theory, is far from complete. A study of precursor electromagnetic waves, which are closely associated with quantum effects, offers a new insight into special and general relativity.
