Abstract

This paper firstly introduces the theoretical basis and main formulas of general relativity and general Maxwell theory of fields. Four new concepts of general Maxwell theory of fields are introduced. By using a comparative method, it lists the explanations of these two theories for four natural phenomena: the trajectory of Mercury perihelion, weak field approximation, gravitational lensing, and dark energy in the universe. Four properties predicted by the general Maxwell theory of fields are proposed: chromatic dispersion in the gravitational lensing, self-focusing effect of light, electromagnetic field and gravitowagnetic field can generate each other and transform to each other, the vector potential of magnetic field and the vector potential of wagnetic field should participate in the A-B effect together.
