petrushkagoogol Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 * Gravitational force is an attribute of mass * Electrostatic force is an attribute of charge Both these forces attenuate as per the Inverse Square Law, though they are expressed differently. Does this imply a common origin for these forces prior to the Big Bang when the symmetries were unresolved ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have a constant amount of an influence emanating in all directions from a point source, its intensity falls off as the square of the radial distance. Same goes for light and sound, for instance. Edited November 26, 2017 by exchemist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
