Abstract

There is need of a source term(5) T ij in the field equation of the Wesson 5D STM theory of ravity if one requires that the Wesson theory goes over to the Einstein theory of general relativity when the rest-massm of a typical particle equals to a constant. A possible form of(5) T ij is proposed.
