Abstract

For many years, theoretical physics has been much concerned with the distinction between particles and light rays. These two are postulated as being fundamentally different and yet they must be intimately related, and can hardly represent two completely different kinds of reality. It is traditional to distinguish particles and rays by giving them different line elements and this may be expressed relativistically as follows (where gμλ is the fundamental tensor).
