Gravity Models Starting with Electrostatics

Gravity exerts a force on an object towards the center of the largest mass in the vicinity of that object. Gravity is usually, in our experience, exerted by the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. The masses under observation will tend to act somewhat like the small charges they are made of.

Important to note the similarities between the universal gravity equation between two masses and the charge equation detailing the force between two charges. These similarities have been seen for a very long time but they have yet to be explained. We can chalk these similarities down to clues to how our universe might behave.

If gravity were like a game of Jenga then a block from the bottom would be put on top. Holes would be left in the bottom. In the case of gravity the holes are filled in Jenga the building eventually collapses. Negative charges are more likely to be in the vicinity of other negative charges towards the center of a mass due to simple geometry. Electrons will be ejected from the tight core of the center of mass with an excess of kinetic energy.

Electrons with excess kinetic energy are like the Jenga blocks from the bottom that are taken out to be put on top. This kinetic electron eventually interacts with other atoms and molecules and eventually slows down and joins with an atom or molecule. The slow down and joining to an atom or molecule is like the Jenga block being put on the top of the Jenga structure.

This is where gravity differs from a Jenga game. The electrons near to the ejected electrons are going to move in to back-fill the ejected electron with excess kinetic energy. So there is a circuit. The low voltage side is the high kinetic electron moving away from the center of mass. The return path is the electrons that back-fill that highly kinetic electron by moving in to charge balance the system. This happens continuously creating the widely observed gravity effect.
