Hi Ng
after thinking about this for a while I have to state, that the em-force
and gravity describe exactly the same 'mechanism'.
It's is different to us, since we give certain relations different
names. Gravity is acting on masses, that are somehow objects. Those are
stable somethings over some time. Atom in general are small and not
quite heavy (about 10^-27 kg and 10^-15 m in diameter ) Light is fast (3
10^8 m/s). That are in total small numbers, since the light is
influenced only within the objects). And it's not directed, since time
has no orientation.
If we think about charge, we assign something different to that
mechanism. That is how *space* behaves. That is how we describe movement
of these somethings in spacelike direction in near interaction with
something else. I call that a pattern (usually we call that a particle).
That has mass too. But if we're talking about charge, we address, how
that pattern is build. Those numbers are big: speed of light again and
the shadow area of that particle if watched from an other (now this is
big and spreading over some space, since we're talking about small
distances). These are big numbers since spacetime is somehow 'stiff'.
That is oriented, since spacetime is anti-symmetric. But it's the same
mechanism. So we could possibly derive G by the maxwell equations.
(details in my new 'book'?. Still not much math within, but a lot of
drawings and links)
