Weyl proposed a geometry that differed from Riemannian geometry, which underlies general relativity, in that it contained a vector that could be interpreted as describing the electromagnetic field. Dirac modified this geometry to remove certain difficulties and based it on a variational principle which gave satisfactory field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism. However, by changing the value of a parameter appearing in his variational principle one gets, instead of electromagnetism, a field of massive particles of spin 1, which can be assumed to interact with ordinary matter only through gravitation. It is suggested that these bosons, called weylons, provide most of the dark matter in the universe.
