Abstract
A metric is given that produces a space in which the geodesic equation is identical with the Lorentz equation of motion for a charged particle. The gravitational field equations in the same space indicate a geometric origin for the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor. A comparison is made with Kaluza-Klein theories and it is determined that the present theory is distinct from them because it corresponds to a timelike, noncompact fifth dimension. Since the metric is velocity-dependent, it is actually a Finsler space rather than a Riemannian space metric. Its special form, however, allows computations to be done in terms of Riemannian geometry.
