Is Gravity On Earth Really A Mystery

What Could Be Wrong With Gravity Science

Is There A Logical Solution

Has One Gravity Mystery Been Solved

Logic is a process whereby outcomes can be predicted based upon probabilities of past events and occurrences, i.e., past events with highest rates of occurrence are more likely to occur again in the future. Past experience is used to predict future outcome.

Science claims certain aspects of gravity are still not fully understood. Could it be that science has simply gone down some wrong paths by not applying fundamental common logic. Here are a number of puzzling issues:

Why is it claimed that gravity on earth is a mystery

There can be no mystery with respect to knowing how gravity works for earth and how it applies to predicting near-earth and solar system travel. Those aspects of science have been well proven.

However, knowing how gravity works at the atomic level is hardly understood.

The most notable mystery with gravity is what causes the force of gravity on earth. This question has remained an uncertainty since Newton first put forward his law of gravity in the 1600's.

Some mystery could be perpetuated by an obsession with the belief that general relativity is the final word on gravity.

Is gravity really a force or not

If science accepts that gravity is one of the four fundamental forces, it is hypocritical to also claim gravity is not a force, but that is exactly what is being done

Common logic says gravity is one of the most obvious examples of a force that exists on earth and is experienced every day by every person on the planet. Most grade school students even understand that.

Gravity on earth satifies both Newton's law of gravity and Newton's mass/acceleration law: force = mass x acceleration. Acceleration of mass on earth due to the force of gravity can be measured and verified experimentally.

To deny gravity is a force on earth is to deny Newton's laws.

Perhaps the people who claim gravity on earth is not a force do so because they are unable to identify a cause for the force of gravity. Since a convincing cause cannot be identified, they seem to be comfortable denying the force exists.

Has Einstein been misinterpreted

Einstein formulated general relativity to show how special relativity can be extended to an accelerating reference frame. Gravity was not the primary focus of his research. He used gravity as his example of a field of acceleration.

General relativity addresses how gravity works, not what causes gravity.

Einstein in his defining general relativity paper did not address a force of gravity nor what causes the force of gravity. However, a different impression of his work is claimed by many science experts attempting to interpret his work.

Einstein defined gravity as an acceleration instead of a force.

Einstein did not deny that gravity is a force. He spent the later part of his life relentlessly searching, without success, for a link between electricty and gravity. We should use that as a clue, not dismiss his effort.

Einstein might have been successful in his final search for the mystery of gravity if he would have had access to a high speed desktop or laptop computer and sophisticated software technology instead of being limited to hand calculations.

Has science failed to connect gravity to Coulomb's law of electric charges

Coulomb's law defines the force between any pair of electric charges as being proportional to the product of the two charge quantities and inversely proportional to the square of their separation distance. This is identical to Newton's law defining the gravitational force as the product of two mass quantities and inversely proportional to the square of their separation distance. Science believes the similarity is just a coincidence rather than a logical connection.

Coulomb's law is the basis for all electric theory.

Since Einstein believed in a likely connection between electricity and gravity, how can science be rejecting this logic so easily.

A logical choice to pursue is the force of gravity on earth as a phenomenon of the elements which comprise the entire earth and surface objects, not a phenomenon of some effect coming from external to the earth. We know the earth is comprised of protons, electrons, and neutrons. And protons and electrons are electric charges producing forces.

The most claimed gravity mystery is "what causes the force of gravity"

Recent work has uncovered a solution to the mystery. Read here a news article:

Some extraordinary conclusions are:

Gravity on earth is very likely an electromagnetic force and not a unique force of its own.

Is it possible that gravity is a concept associated only with large mass objects like the earth that are comprised of an immense concentration of electric charges capable of producing detectable acceleration of smaller mass objects.

Gravity at the atomic level appears to be just the Coulomb charge force and not a separate force in addition to the charge force. Is quantum gravity just quantum mechanics as we already know it?
