Abstract

This explanation of the gravitational mechanism provides a causal mechanism that reconciles physical phenomena with Newton's equation for the force of Gravity. It shows how electricity and magnetism work together to produce the force of Gravity and in so doing represents the first ?Unified field theory'. It explains the reason why the gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the attracting bodies and why the force decreases in accordance with a square law scale. The Gravitational Constant is defined. The reason why objects accelerate to Earth in accordance with a square law scale is explained. The architecture of the atom is explained?the reason why electrons orbit the atom in up to 8 shells/sub-shells; why the shells contain the number of electrons that they do; and why the shells are offset by at least 45?, are all explained.
