Description/Abstract | Cartan`s contortion is either considered as a nonpropagating field hardly having any physical significance or as a field determined by exotic very massive particles called tordions.^In this paper an essentially different alternative is proposed: the contortion is determined, among other extraordinary vector fields, by a pair of standard massless spin-2 fields (V and W fields).^It is conjectured that the extraordinary fields are vanishing.^The forms of the interactions and self-interactions of the V and W fields are also briefly discussed. |
