Popis: | It is shown that O. Bergmann's (1956) scalar field theory is similar to G. Nordstrom's (1912). The interaction term in the former's theory is equivalent to non-linearising the Nordstrom theory by including twice the energy density of the field as a source term in the ‘Poisson-like’ equation. It is further shown that, if the interaction term (1+v) in Bergmann's theory is replaced by (1+v)2, then the subsequent field equation appears more reasonable in that the energy density (not twice) appears as a source term. |
