Is gravity conducted electromagnetically (not with radiation)?

Question

I could have worded it with 'electromagnetic conduction', that's what I meant.

I thought electromagnetic radiation is something that is, and is an energy, didn't think of it as a force. To understand better what I said - imagine (sorry, that annoys some) two planets with no matter between them or connecting them (don't mention this is impossible), how would their gravitational forces interact? I mean, it must be conducted somehow for the planets to 'know' of the existence of each other.

Answer 1

huh?

Answer 2

The answer is no. Electromagnetism and Gravity are completely different forces. Gravity is extremely weak compared to electromagnetism: Think about it: It takes only a small magnet to counteract the force of gravity of the entire planet earth.

As to what gravity actually is, That is a mystery. Gravity is the force everyone on earth is most familiar with, but it is also the most mysterious of all the four forces. Many different theories have arrisen.

For example, the theory of relativity states that gravity is simply a curvature of spacetime due to mass, and is not actually a force at all.

In quantum gravity theories, the graviton (a particle that has never been observed) is the theoretical cause of gravity.

Answer 3

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, gravity isn't a force in the same sense that electromagnetic radiation or nuclear force is. Gravity is simply the result of matter warping spacetime by it's presence. The classic example is to imagine space as a piece of rubber laid flat but suspended in the air. Place one mass somewhere on the rubber, say for example a bowling ball, and it causes a depression in the sheet. If you add another, smaller mass, say a ball bearing, at the proper velocity, the bearing would circle the bowling ball in an orbit similar to that of the earth around the sun, or the moon around the earth.

So if you are using the Einsteinian model of spacetime, gravity isn't conducted, but simply is. Of course, quantum mechanics and other models do suggest the presence of a graviton, a particle similar to a photon, which would radiate outward and carry the force of gravity. But this theory isn't as popularly held in the scientific community as of yet.

Answer 4

Gravity depends on mass. It has nothing to do with electromagnetism. Are you thinking of the force of repulsion due to a magnetic field? That force only affects other magnetic objects. Gravity is related to mass and mass only.

This is by far the best answer I've ever seen:
"No, gravity is something to do with gravitron."
What the...

Answer 5

If anybody knows the answer, they'll win a noble prize.

The Unified Theory that relates the four forces (electromagnetic , gravity, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear) to each other hasn't been defined yet. It's generally accepted that they are some how related, but we don't know.

Answer 6

No, gravity is something to do with gravitron.

Electromagnetism is to deal with electric and magnetic field.

They are different fundamental forces of the nature.

it is a very interesting subject. there is a book call "elegant universe" that talks about it.

There is a video of the subject too.

Answer 7

No electromagnetic force is different to gravitational force.

See Wikipedia for a full description

Answer 8

No It doesnt.

Also nothing to do with gravitron
It does dependent uopn only mass. Any mass No exceprions

Answer 9

magnetism is radiated energy
