The discussion revolves around the nature of gravity, specifically exploring whether it can be understood as a result of interactions between electrons and magnetic fields, and how this relates to established concepts like gravitational time dilation and general relativity.
Participants express disagreement regarding the initial hypothesis about gravity, with some asserting that it cannot be accurately described in such terms while others support the exploration of alternative ideas.
The discussion highlights the complexity of gravity and the challenges in reconciling new theories with established scientific principles, particularly regarding the role of atomic structure and forces.
Gravity cannot be anything as simple as a force. One cannot account for gravitational time dilation (curved space-time) that way. In addition, since it scales with atomic mass rather than atomic number, a model that makes it a function of the number of electrons is pretty much eliminated.Connor Austin said:I was wondering if gravity was just the net interaction of the electrons orbiting the atom and the magnetic fields collapsing and recombining among each other somehow that made sense in my head.
