Abstract :
It is suggested that a unification of the morphology of the solar system, anomalous intrinsic red shifts of quasars and galaxies, the structure of the hydrogen atom, the Einstein equations of general relativity, and Maxwell´s equations can be accomplished by a basic consideration of the minimum-action states of cosmic and/or virtual vacuum field plasmas. A formalism of planetary formation theory leads naturally to a generalization which describes relativistic gravitational field theory in terms of a `pregeometry´. A virtual plasma associated with the vacuum state is postulated. It is demonstrated that the relaxed state of the virtual plasma underlies Einstein´s field equation and predicts the proper form for the effective gravitational potential generated by the Schwarzschild solution of those equations. A further extension of the theory demonstrates that it also predicts the structure of the hydrogen atom described in terms of the Schrodinger equation of quantum mechanics. These concepts are applied in an attempt to explain the quantized anomalous red shifts in related galaxies as observed by H. Arp and J.H. Sulentic (1985). A possible unified field theory is suggested based on the above-mentioned concepts
