Question about gravity

שו”תCategory: generalQuestion about gravity
asked 10 months ago

Hello Rabbi, this time I address you as Dr.
I haven’t had a chance to see and check if the following theory has been tested:
If, according to the theory, two charged particles exert a force on each other (attraction or repulsion, depending on the sign), is what we call the force of attraction actually the action of the charges on each other, and since everything is full of charges, the attraction of the body with the most charges is stronger?

Of course, I’m already raising the question: Why would attraction be greater than repulsion? Apparently there is the same amount of charge, but at most something else is missing to explain it?

I didn’t understand the question. Are you talking about the force of gravity? It has nothing to do with electric charges. It is powered by mass, not electric charge. Electric charge is the charge that generates the electric force of gravity, mass is the gravitational charge, meaning it is the charge that generates the gravitational attraction.

Right now we don't know exactly what the mechanism of attraction is. Are these particles of some kind? Is it some kind of wave?

We assume that it's mass attracting mass, but what about mass causes attraction? Isn't it possible that the dependence on mass is because a large mass creates a charge?

not.

You probably know, and it's not exactly what I thought,

But it turns out they tried to unify the theory of electromagnetism with gravity, to find a unifying factor for them (UEG-Unify Electromagnetic Gravity).

Einstein also tried to find something like that.
