Abstract

Several authors in the past have utilized the five dimensional manifold to accomplish their ends, as the next few sections explain. The ends are frequently different, however, Corben1,2 relates his fifth dimensional variables to rest quantities, such as the "rest mass density" and "rest charge density." Flint3,4,5 uses x as an unobservable 5 cyclic coordinate, and Ingraham6 interprets x as a "parameter of finiteness" that keeps finite the usual field quantities.
