Neutrinos are fundamental and electrically neutral.GRDixon said:All particles are charged, or consist of charged quarks whose total charges sum to zero. Therefore, all particles have internal electric fields, and charged particles also have external electric fields. The electric field is a form of energy. All energy engenders a gravitational field (or, if you prefer, warps flat space-time). Therefore gravity is explained, without exception, by Maxwell’s equations, right? Corollary: there is no such thing as matter.

You're joking, aren't you ? I don't see anything that 'explains' gravity in Maxwell's equations.Therefore gravity is explained, without exception, by Maxwell’s equations, right?
Overly Speculative Posts: One of the main goals of PF is to help students learn the current status of physics as practiced by the scientific community; accordingly, Physicsforums.com strives to maintain high standards of academic integrity. There are many open questions in physics, and we welcome discussion on those subjects provided the discussion remains intellectually sound. It is against our Posting Guidelines to discuss, in most of the PF forums or in blogs, new or non-mainstream theories or ideas that have not been published in professional peer-reviewed journals or are not part of current professional mainstream scientific discussion.

Maxwell's Equations are a set of four fundamental equations in electromagnetism that describe the relationship between electric and magnetic fields, and how they are affected by charges and currents.
Maxwell's Equations do not directly explain gravity, as they only describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. However, they are important in understanding how electric and magnetic fields interact with matter, which can then be applied to understanding gravity at a larger scale.
Charge and gravity are two separate fundamental forces in the universe. Charge is the force that causes particles to interact with each other through electric and magnetic fields, while gravity is the force that causes objects with mass to attract each other. There is no direct relationship between the two, but they can both be described and understood through mathematical equations.
Maxwell's Equations are important because they provide a comprehensive and mathematically rigorous framework for understanding the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. They have been used to predict and explain a wide range of electromagnetic phenomena, from the behavior of light to the functioning of electronic devices.
Maxwell's Equations have been extensively tested and verified through experiments, observations, and mathematical calculations. Some of the most famous experiments that have confirmed the accuracy of these equations include the Michelson-Morley experiment, which demonstrated the existence of the speed of light, and the discovery of electromagnetic waves by Heinrich Hertz. Additionally, the equations have also been used to make accurate predictions about the behavior of electromagnetic fields in various situations.
