The answer lies in what matter is and how differing forms of energy relate to that matter. The force of gravity has as its energy origin the heat contained within a mass, while the force of magnetism has as its source lines of force extending from individual electrons (the electron is the source of all magnetic lines. I am going to post a rather long thesis that answers your question. It is rather long due to the nature of what you seek. There is more time info at http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc
The Comparison between Magnetism and Gravity
They are two different kinds of force. Sorta like ice and steam. These two forms of water have a direct relationship, but it is not obvious when a person considers each by itself. The following may be of interest:
To determine the reason a magnetic field exists, we begin by looking at the electron. Even though earth's magnetic field is due to planet rotation, it is still the electron that is the basis of its existence. It is the electron and its multiples that form all magnetic fields. Next, we need to take a look at the force of gravity and then compare the two.
THE ELECTRON. This is a small bit of matter that is formed of electromagnetic energy. This is obvious in that when a very high frequency wave of this energy enters near the nucleus of an atom it is able to form electron pairs - negative and positive electrons. In forming an electron, a monopole is made. This means an individual electron has one-half the frequency of the original electromagnetic energy forming it, bound in the southern half of the electron as "mass" (offers resistance to movement) and the northern half forms magnetic lines extending outward; lines that in energy value are equal to the mass in the southern half. The electron, also, has an electric field form through the plane of its equator. These three parts of the electron are formed of a single ray of electromagnetic energy.
Multiples of the electron then forms neutrons and protons, which become the mass of our universe. Because mass is composed of electromagnetic energy, it has an unchangeable value of "c" inherent within its composition. That value would be realized were an electron to be taken apart, and we were able to observe what occurred. What would instantly attract our attention would be a high frequency electromagnetic wave being released, instantly moving outward at the speed of light, “c”. The appearance of this form of energy would demonstrate that value of "c" was what composed the electron mass all along.
Secondly, we need to consider the origin of GRAVITATIONAL WAVES. These waves are formed by a relationship between mass and energy. The equation for a gravitational field is c2 = E/m. The same equation is also that of a field of physical time. Notice if there were no energy to be divisible by mass, then there could be no gravitational field. Were our planet to have no heat energy within its mass, then it would have no gravitational field. As the value of "E" changes so, also, does that of the field, c2.
The existence of gravitational waves and recognition that they perform work is obvious to all. In that the force of gravity performs work, it must have an energy source. It is impossible to perform work apart from having some kind of energy to initiate change. What we need to know is how do the waves (a) FORM, and then what they are (b) FORMED OF.
(a) HOW THE WAVES FORM. The basis of gravitational waves is that of electromagnetic energy that forms into the electron. Remember that the value of "c" is the basis of electron mass. What the electron does in forming the mass is to complete a circle of more than 360 degrees and overlap part of its own frequency, thus remaining bonded to its own physical existence, while remaining formed into three dimensions.
As an individual electron, or large mass moves, there is a change in its overall frequency. The lines of frequency become more dense in direction of movement and less dense at right angles to the direction of travel. This is why a mass is able to move, and why it remains moving in its original direction, and at its original speed until some of that increased frequency is given to another mass. If there is no manner for that frequency to be shared, then the mass must continue to move unchanging, for the total composite of mass is a composition of frequency increase, and frequency cancellation.
But what happens when a mass is unable to move, yet it has a great deal of energy within in form of heat, as within our planet? It is still three dimensional, occupying space, but there is no evidence of the frequency change within the mass. This brings us to:
(b) WHY GRAVITATIONAL WAVES EXIST and how to relate their existence to mass. It is often stated that were a mass to approach to near the speed of light that it would become much shorter in the direction of movement. That statement is true. Because mass has as its basis electromagnetic energy, it must act in the same manner as that which comprises it. The thought in short form is as follows:
E = hf, electromagnetic energy is equal to its frequency times Plank's constant.
mk = hf, mass kinetic energy, operates exactly the same way as does electromagnetic energy. When there is an increase of energy in one direction, the overall line density in that direction increases. The energy values at right angles to direction of travel decreases in proportion to that of the forward one. Mass does not gain mass as it moves, it transfers energy (E = hf) from dimensions to dimension.
c = hf, is the last part. The value of "c" is that of a particular form of wave energy - perhaps that of "h". This concept receives its validity from E = mc2, and m = E/c2. The value of “c2” (physical time) is the basis of both.
Now we are able to compare two different masses, in two different locations, doing the same thing but in different manners.
First, is that of a mass in a speeding spaceship. The mass is moving at a speed of light, minus 25 mps. At this speed the mass would be, to an observer standing at a right angle to it, as though it were a very thin line in space. The forward dimension would have become very compressed according to mk = hf. The obvious energy nature of this object to the viewer would be that of movement, the object having greatest energy potential in direction of travel, and proportionately less at right angles to it.
Second, let’s take a look at a mass within our planet that is 0.717 miles from its core point. The nature of a mass in this location, were it to be able to freely fall, is that it would instantly be moving toward the center of our planet at the same speed of the first mass in our illustration - moving at the speed of light minus 25 mps. BUT the mass within our planet is not going any place, point to point. It is forced to remain in the same location of 0.717 miles from the core point of our planet through all time.
What is the comparison between the two masses so that we may determine how gravitational waves form?
Were you to take the mass of outer space, and were it exactly the same size as the one within the core area of our planet, and were you to exchange them, it could be done with no problem. The one presently in the core of earth would immediately be accelerating at the speed of light minus 25 mps in outer space, were it released there. Then the one that had been zipping along in outer space could be fitted into the core of earth, where the other had been, and there would be no disruption. Why is that possible?
The moving mass in outer space has obvious kinetic energy within it. The one in the center of our planet has the same value. Both have the value of, mk = hf within. When either mass was free to move in outer space, it moved according to the "visual value of kinetic energy" [TIME CHANGES MASS IN LOCATION] (mk = hf). Then there is a mass when it is 0.717 miles from the center of our planet. This earth mass is moving physical time according to "mass plus energy" [MASS CHANGES TIME IN POTENTIAL] (still, mk = hf).
The frequency of E/m (gravitational waves) escapes at the speed of light. If the frequency (hf) of the earth mass at the 0.717 mile location decreases its energy value (heat energy), so would its relative speed change as compared to that of the moving space mass (mk = hf, and a person could no longer directly exchange it with the one remaining in outer space). The hf value demonstrates the kind of energy that is contained within the earth mass, and as long as that energy value continues to exist (heat) so, also, shall the propagation of gravitational waves exist, and the mass shall continue accelerating to nowhere.
