Through an examination of the Bohm-Aharonov (1959) experiment, a theory of gravitation and electromagnetism is proposed. The fundamental assumption of this theory is that the motion of a particle in a combination of gravitational and electromagnetic fields is determined from a variational principle. The form of the physical time is determined from an examination of the Maxwell-Einstein action function. The field and motion equations are formally identical to those of Maxwell-Einstein theory. The theory predicts that even in a field-free region of space, electromagnetic potentials can alter the phase of a wave function and the lifetime of a charged particle. The phase alteration has been observed in the Bohm-Aharonov experiment. There is an indication that the lifetime alteration has shown up in a recent CERN storage-ring experiment. Experimental tests are proposed.
