ABSTRACT
It is found that general relativity is incomplete because it involves the
charge-mass interaction. The Reissner-Nordstrom metric enables to show that, due
to the electromagnetic energy, there is a repulsive effect in gravity. Analysis
of this effect shows that the geodesic equation as the equation of motion is
inadequate. To include the force of charge-mass repulsion, it is shown that the
unification within the theoretical framework of a five-dimensional theory would
resolve this problem because of the additional metric elements. In the
five-dimensional theory of Einstein and Pauli, those elements were incorrectly disregarded
as having no physical meaning. The string theorists led by Witten also failed because they do not
understand the Einstein equation adequately. Concurrently, the formula E = mc2 is proven as only conditionally valid and experimental verifications of the new
force are discussed. Thus, the full meaning of relativity is still emerging
after 100 years of Einstein’s creation. The physical meaning and applications
of the new charge-mass interaction are discussed.
