Dual of Newtonian gravitational field

In the static state, the laws of Newtonian gravity and Coulomb force have exactly same formulas, $$F = K \frac{A_1A_2}{r^2}.$$ In the electrical case, moving materials produce a field, say a dual ...

Is gravity the result of protons and electrons? [closed]

I understand that gravity is the result of a curved space/time caused by mass. But is it possible that gravity is the result of protons and electrons magneticly interacting on a massive scale? Large ...

Gravito-magnetism and gravitational waves outside of General Relativity

An important implication of (linearised) Einstein equations is that you can write a gravito-magnetic field in addition to the gravito-electric field (the classic gravitational field). And from there ...

Does a Magnetar have a magnetic event horizon different than it's schwarzchild radius?

Being the strongest magnets in the universe I think there would be a point of know return different for a neodymium magnets then that of similar non magnetic mass.

Why do the sensitivities of magnetometers and gravimiters have such strange units?

It looks like the sensitivities of magnetometers and gravimeters are usually reported with the units of $\text{Tesla}/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ and $\text{Gal}/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$, respectively (where "Gal&...

Do magnetic things fall faster?

Assuming correct orientation, do magnetic things fall faster than non-magnetic ones because of the magnetic field of the Earth? Of course it is clear that if any, the effect is very very small, but ...

Why don't ferrous metals fall to earth faster than other objects?

Given that gravity is a weak force compared with magnetism and given the fact that the earth is a magnet, why don't ferrous metals fall to earth faster than other objects? Seems like they should!
