2014 arXiv   pre-print
Nonstandard analysis and electromagnetic propagation properties are used to derive all of the fundamental results for the Special Theory of Relativity. Infinitesimal modeling via infinitesimal light-clocks is used to derive two general line-elements (metrics) without the use of Riemannian geometry. By substituting potential velocities, the Schwarzschild, quasi and modified Schwarzschild, de Sitter, Robertson-Walker and similar line-elements are derived. New black hole and quasi-white hole

The major conclusion is that all such changes are related to electromagnetic properties and that Riemannian geometry is but an analogue model for natural-system behavior.
