Abstract
I derive the general relativistic metric in terms of Newtonian potentials. The result
simplifies addition of metrics. Metric operations are derived. I further hypothesize that the
symmetric metric could represent an electromagnetic field as well as a gravitational field. I unify
the two fields of electromagnetism and gravity into one symmetric metric.
In the second part of this thesis, I derive a novel relativistic quantum equation. The
operators are derived, and the uncertainty relations are found. Solutions are analyzed for the flatspace
metric. The relativistic harmonic oscillator and 1/r potentials are also presented. The 1/r
potential is useful for studying the motion of a particle orbiting a hydrogen atom or a black hole.
