It fully exploits Einstein's theory of general relativity. It is found that the most general formal expression of the theory replaces the (10-component) tensor formalism with a (16-component) quaternion formalism. This leads to a unified field theory, where one field incorporates gravitation and electromagnetism. The theory predicts an oscillating universe cosmology with a spiral configuration. Dark matter is explained in terms of a sea of particle-antiparticle pairs, each in a particular (derived) ground state. This leads to an ex 606 $aCosmology 606 $aUnified field theories 606 $aGeneral relativity (Physics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aUnified field theories. 615 0$aGeneral relativity (Physics) 676 $a523.1 700 $aSachs$b Mendel$050332 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456143903321 996 $aPhysics of the universe$92148288 997 $aUNINA
