This monograph is a sequel to my earlier work, General Relativity and
Matter [1], which will be referred to henceforth as GRM. The
monograph, GRM, focuses on the full set of implications of General
Relativity Theory, as a fundamental theory of matter in all domains,
from elementary particle physics to cosmology. It is shown there to
exhibit an explicit unification of the gravitational and electromagnetic
fields of force with the inertial manifestations of matter, expressing
the latter explicitly in terms of a covariant field theory within the
structure of this general theory. This monograph will focus, primarily,
on the special relativistic limit of the part of this general field
theory of matter that deals with inertia, in the domain where quantum
mechanics has been evoked in contemporary physics as a funda- mental
explanation for the behavior of elementary matter. Many of the results
presented in this book are based on earlier published works in the
journals, which will be listed in the Bibliography. These results will
be presented here in an expanded form, with more discussion on the
motivation and explanation for the theoretical development of the
subject than space would allow in normal journal articles, and they will
be presented in one place where there would then be a more unified and
coherent explication of the subject.
