Question

Gravity vs Electro Magnetism ( a multi part question )

(a) given the existance of submolecular particles would it be safe to say that matter as we know it is in a state of constant collision , friction with said particles ..
(b) if so .. would these collisions , friction cause matter to have its own unique electro magnetic charge
(c) if true for (b) then why is gravity named as a seporite force from electro magnetism ( please state characteristics of each ..)

*note : the way i see it what we define as " gravity " is really a reaction of ( em ) feilds acting on eachother

Answer 1

No.. gravity is definitely seperate.. cause electromagnetic forces at astronomical distances die out.. !!.. so its indeed a completely different force compared to EM

Answer 2

Gravity does the same tho

Answer 3

no it does not... gravity depends on the MASS .. if gravity did the same..

then the force of gravity between electron and proton must be same as the force f gravity between proton and proton! .. but its not.. cause proton's are more massive than electrons!

Answer 4

more to the point given the characteristics of bolth G and EM ,....and how simular they are and that all matter is in a state of constant friction ..how , or why is G a seporite state from EM ............... ***( Please Note ) *** Newton was an idealist not a religist leader ..........lol

Answer 5

friction is nothing but electromagnetic force .. gravity doesn't contribute to friction.. !. its just too weak at that level to give friction!

Answer 6

exacty @Mashy where is this " Gravity - Gravaton ...in what instance would Gravity only work that EM would not ....??????

Answer 7

two neutrons will not have any EM force between them.. but they would have gravitational force between them :P

Answer 8

besides when you consider macroscopic objects... like earth and moon.. you can assume that they are both neutral.. there is no charge on them.. even if there is .. it would be extremely small.. and you can easily evalutate the EM force between them.. and it would turn out to be wayyyyy smaller than it is.. !

Answer 9

@Mashy i will admit i tend to " freely throw around EM term .....for lack of a better one " ( 1 ) earth and moon share the same EM feild...
(2) how can objects such as the earth and moon in constant movement / friction be neutral ...( 3 ) small is relitive when considering the the ammout of non /supmol particles in constant event interactaction w/ shuch a large EM ( 4 ) ( neutrons ) befor we go there me must establish a state in whitch they are in ( 5 ) you still didnt find the gravaton ....lol .....as always thanx for your feed back :)

Answer 10

yea we are in search of gravaton or whatever :P i agree.. and i really don't understand your point 2.. why can't they be neutral?.. you are saying that there is no such thing as gravity.. and its basically EM field itself right?? thats what you are arguing isn't it?? but in order to have an EM field.. you need charged particles..

Answer 11

@Mashy. If you want to know if an idea is true you look for contradictions, so think like a scientist. Since you're the one proposing this hypothesis (that gravity is really just an EM phenomenon) then you tell us - what would it take to disprove that?

Answer 12

No.. i am not PROPOSING this hypothesis.. I am OPPOSING it.. its Phlyod who came up with it :P ..

Answer 13

apologies, I meant @Phloyd.
