Query about non-symmetric metric tensor



Can someone please explain how the physics of a non-symmetric metric
tensor would be different from that of a symmetric metric tensor.
Especially, with Einstein's idea that we have to make g_ik <> g_ki
expressed in "On the Generalized Theory of Gravitation" (Scientific
American, April 1950). How would one interpret g_ik versus g_ki and
the physics associated with each?

Thanks,
