Dear friends:

I am just putting the finishing touches on the five-dimensional paper
which I have been working on intensively for the past several weeks,
and which I have had in mind on and off for several years. I will be
doing a final proofread tomorrow and posting it to my weblog, then
trying to get it journal-published in the near future. I wanted to
give you all, and the commentariat at sci.physics.foundations, the
first look at this.

It is a long paper, but if you read the introduction, and more
importantly, the conclusion, you should have a pretty good roadmap to
help you navigate through in an efficient way.
.. . .

Looks fine to me Jay. Good work and thanks for posting it.

The problem with Kaluza Klein is not that it does not unify gravity
and EM - it is the cylinder assumption. This imposes U(1) symmetry
which is known to be the basis of EM. Basically you have assumed EM
to start with. But good work anyway - it is becoming obvious it will
probably form part of future progress eg:

Thanks

Thanks Bill,

Nice to hear something good amidst all the skepticism and cynicism.

I am certainly foursquare in tune with the Space-Time-Matter STM crowd
that is looking at Kaluza-Klein to unify EM and GR and at the same time,
give rise to matter out of the fifth dimension. What has been a bit of
a surprise to me, it the vehemence with which some people are dead set
against this approach.

Best,

Jay.
