i think that a nice concise explaination. do you have a similar explaination for the physical nature of charge (ie. those of electrons & protons) ?
The force between charges (electrons, protons) is F = K(qq/r^2) and the force of gravity is F = G(mm/r^2). As you can see they are the same equationish.
My teacher said there was a deep meaning but I don't remember what it is or even if it only exists in theories.
Nobody knows how or why electrons or even gravity really work. As stated in my physics book, "Should we attribute gravitaion to the curvature of spacetime due to the presence of masses or to a force between masses? Or should we attribute it to the actions of a type of fundamental particle called a gravitron, as conjectured in some modern physics theories? We just don't know."
In physics when two equations are similar more times than not there is a connection.
