  • Gravity & Electromagnetism Unified

    by Richard Lighthouse ...
    This is an Important Mathematical Discovery. No one has ever provided simple mathematical evidence that unifies gravity and electromagnetism. Note that the two classical equations of Newton's Gravity and Coulomb's Law have a similar form. Also note that when Limit (r) ---> 0, these 2 equations approach a singularity. This implies that our universe collapses to a single point for unification. This ... Read more
