TL;DR Summary
Is it possible to derive equations for electric field E and magnetic B from the following equation?
$$\Box A_\alpha +\mu^2 A_\alpha = 2\beta A_\mu \partial_\alpha A^\mu + \frac {4\pi}{c} J_\alpha$$

where ##A=(\Phi, \vec A)## and ##J=(\rho, \vec J)##

using a static configuration first where ##α=0##
and then a dynamic one where ##α=i##

knowing that ##E= - \nabla^2 \Phi - \frac {\partial A}{dt}## and ##B= \nabla \times A## and ##-\nabla^2 A + \nabla (\nabla A) = \nabla \times (\nabla \times A)##

I personally tried but because of the ##2\beta A_\mu## term i cannot connect these

My attempts so far:
For static configuration $$- \frac {\partial \Phi}{c^2 \partial t^2} + \nabla^2 \Phi +\mu^2 \Phi = 2\beta A_\mu \frac {\partial A^\mu}{\partial t} + \frac {4\pi}{c} \rho$$
For dynamic configuration $$- \frac {\partial \vec A}{c^2 \partial t^2} + \nabla^2 \vec A +\mu^2 \vec A = 2\beta A_\mu \nabla \vec A + \frac {4\pi}{c} \vec J$$

[CORRECTION] ##E=-\nabla \Phi- \frac {\partial A}{\partial t}##
For static configuration $$\nabla^2 \Phi +\mu^2 \Phi = + \frac {4\pi}{c} \rho$$
since in static configuration ##\frac {\partial}{\partial t}=0##

can someone help me derive Maxwell's equations for these equations if it's possible?

OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
From $$0 = \delta(g^{\alpha\mu}g_{\mu\nu}) = g^{\alpha\mu} \delta g_{\mu\nu} + g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu}$$ we have $$g^{\alpha\mu} \delta g_{\mu\nu} = -g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu} \,\, . $$ Multiply both sides by ##g_{\alpha\beta}## to get $$\delta g_{\beta\nu} = -g_{\alpha\beta} g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu} \qquad(*)$$ (This is Dirac's eq. (26.9) in "GTR".) On the other hand, the variation ##\delta g^{\alpha\mu} = \bar{g}^{\alpha\mu} - g^{\alpha\mu}## should be a tensor...
