Define Gravity
Gravity = a large-scale residual of the electromagnetic environment. In a discrete universe, the total EM fields from all matter rarely cancel perfectly. The slow, coherent tendencies of that non-zero residue appear as what we call gravity.
Core idea
- Discrete atoms → imperfect cancellation. Tiny local imbalances accumulate over astronomical numbers of charges.
- Global coherence over time. The long-range, always-positive effect we label “gravity” is the macroscopic face of that residual environment.
- Continuum ideal hides it. Smooth PDEs erase per-atom structure → predict perfect cancellation → miss the residue.
What this explains
- Why vacuum predictions fail in sparse media. Where matter is less dense (large gaps between atoms), continuum assumptions crack.
- Why edge/shape matter. Boundaries & asymmetries (materials, slits, layered structures) influence the local environment and measured forces.
Predictions / Checks
- Environment-sensitive anomalies. Small deviations in precision experiments correlate with controllable EM background changes.
- Material dependence. “Gravitational” effects show tiny, testable dependence on composition/geometry via EM residue pathways.
Positioning
This is not “charge causes gravity.” It is: the aggregate EM environment of finite atoms—net of cancellations—has a slow, coherent residual that presents as a universal attraction.
