Abstract |
|
|
| The geometric algebra of three-dimensional physical space and its associated geometric calculus, enables a compact
formulation of Maxwells electromagnetic (EM) equations from a set of familiar and physically relevant postulates. This formulation
results in a natural extension of the Maxwell equations yielding wave solutions in addition to the usual EM waves. These additional,
non-EM solutions do not conflict with classical EM experiments and have three properties in common with the apparent properties
of dark energy. These three properties are that the wave solutions 1) propagate at the speed of light, 2) do not interact with ordinary
electric charges or currents, and 3) possess retrograde momentum. By retrograde momentum, we mean that the momentum carried by
such a wave is directed oppositely to the direction of energy transport. A gas of such waves generates negative pressure. |
