Hi Hannu:

I just posted a brief, informal paper The Lorentz Force Equation and 
Geodesic Motion at 
http://home.nycap.rr.com/jry/Papers/Lorentz%20Force%20for%20web%20post.pdf, 
which I actually wrote a week ago and did not post.  This paper will help to 
illustrate how I got from http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0511050 to 
http://home.nycap.rr.com/jry/Papers/Uncertainty%20and%20GR.pdf, which is 
attempting to show that Heisenberg uncertainty derives from general 
relativity.  And it will help to show how the present effort on HUP really 
is part of an effort to solve the two problems in 
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0511050, discussed below.

In addressing the issues of the gravitational pseudo tensor t^u_v and 
integrating energy densities in general, I came to realize that the only 
gravitational t^u_v which could be separated from T^u_v was the one for 
RomanT^u_v because of the special property that RomanT^u_v = scalar 
Kronecker^u_v.  I was able show in 
http://home.nycap.rr.com/jry/Papers/Lorentz%20Force%20for%20web%20post.pdf, 
how the Lorentz force, in differential form, is the equation for geodesic 
motion in an adiabatic fluid.  But, when I wanted to integrate back up to a 
finite region of spacetime (last page) to reconstruct the usual expression 
for Lorentz force (7), (24), I started to mull what happens when one 
integrates in curved spacetime, picked up the first sense that the 
uncertainty principle might be lurking nearby, and started on the present 
course.

The two main problems in the paper at http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0511050 are 
1) the t^u_v pseudo tensor is just that; I need to correct its treatment. 
The various energy tensors remain intact, however.  Second, in light of what 
I am doing now with HUP, I'd have to say that the earlier paper drew a 
connection between General Relativity and Yang-Mills gauge theory, but that 
the direct connection to HUP and QM is the one I am developing at present in 
http://home.nycap.rr.com/jry/Papers/Uncertainty%20and%20GR.pdf.  I have 
posted a number of replies today that summarize my current thinking on this, 
which has changed significantly in the last 48 hours.

As I have said in some other posts, I now believe that the tensor density 
integration problem in GR is HUP in disguise.
