Abstract

The covariant scheme is proposed to couple gravity and electrodynamics in pseudo-Riemannian four-spaces with electromagnetic connections. Novel dynamics of the extended charge and electromagnetic dilation-compression of its proper time can be tested in non-relativistic experiments. The vector equations acknowledge unified photon waves without metric modulations of flat laboratory space.
