-I ~ QUANTIZATION OF ECE2 THEORY. by

www.et3m.net) Quantization schemes are developed for ECE2 theory based on the fact that it is Lorentz covariant within the context of a generally covariant unified field theory. The equations of special relativity apply, and are quantized using various schemes which result in measurable energy shifts. A new axiom of special relativity is introduced, that the laboratory frame velocity of the Lorentz transform is bounded above by c I ~. This axiom allows a particle of finite mass m to move at the speed of light, thus removng many obscurites ofthe usual interpretation in which vO is allowed to approach c, and results immediately in the observed light deflection due to gravitation. Key words: ECE2 theory, quantization schemes, new axiom of special relativity. 1. INTRODUCTION. In the immediately preceding papers of this series { 1- 12} the Lorentz covariance of the ECE2 theory has been developed in various ways, and used notably to produce perihelion precession and light deflection due to gravitation from special relativity
