Interpretation of Magnetism and Gravitation as Relational Residual Effects of the Electric Force
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Both the magnetic force and the law of gravitation can be derived from the solution to Maxwell's equations for moving point charges in the Galilean limit. For this purpose, a plasma droplet model is introduced, as an aggregation of point charges in Brownian motion, enclosed in a very small three-dimensional volume. Alternatively, the plasma droplet can be interpreted as a single point charge that performs jittering movements because of quantum mechanical rules. In both cases, the velocity is a random variable and must be described by a probability distribution with a standard deviation and a variance. A non-zero velocity standard deviation is shown to lead to the magnetic force, whereas the law of gravitation can be derived from a non-zero velocity variance.
