A proposal for an electrical connection between the gravitational field and light

摘要

Based on well-established equations, we provide evidence of an electrical connection between the gravitational field and light. Each is modeled using the inductance-capacitance (LC) circuit as the building block. A proposed direct photon force (not a pressure and not by means of a force carrier), the relationship between the speed of light and gravity, the frequency and wavelength of gravitational waves, gravitational redshift, the trajectory of planets around the sun, and equations of plane electromagnetic waves may all be expressed with the assistance of an ideal (no resistance) LC circuit model of light. Each begins with the Planck-Einstein relationship. Each suggests that gravity and electromagnetism interact directly through fluctuating electrical and magnetic fields from both sources. With this perspective Einstein's concept of the warping of spacetime may not be needed to explain gravitation. (C) 2020 Physics Essays Publication.
