Scientific paper

By utilizing the inherent scale-invariance of Maxwell's equations, classical electrodynamics is incorporated into the theory of scale-invariant gravity. In this incorporation the gravitational constant G is shown to transform like beta to the -2nd (beta is the gauge function); the generalized Lorentz Force Law is derived; the electric charge is shown to be invariant under gauge transformation; and matter creation is shown to be a necessity. In all nontrivial gauges a modified version of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is obtained. The deviation from standard QED, however, is shown to be beyond the range of experimental detection when G alpha beta to the -2nd.
