Abstract
ATTEMPTS to obtain a unified theory of gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena1 have assumed the form of generalizing the equations of general relativity theory, so that they incorporate terms which may be identified with electromagnetic potentials and charge and current distributions. At the moment it seems that these attempts will not lead to an explanation of such quantum theoretical results as the indeterminacy principle, and their very complexity makes it difficult to see how they will yield a hint as to necessary modifications of the equations of quantum theory required to overcome the difficulties inherent in its present form. In any event, such a synthesis of gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena in quantum theory is generally regarded as secondary in importance, since gravitational forces on elementary particles are extremely small.
