There sure is. Just boil a pot of water and you will

There is a mathematical similarity between mechanical phenomena and
GTR, but there the similarity ends. There is absolutely no evidence
that elecromagnetism and gravity are linked except in the very general
way that Gravity is produced by total energy mass which might include
photons.

There has been speclation that the GTR metric is bent round in a fifth
dimension through branes and that branes have helped to produce the
Big Bang, although what the connection to electromagnetism is I really
don't know.

The operation of light tweezers can be explained quite easily by
classical electromagnetic rheory without the need to involve gravity.

You miss the point.
Gravity/Inertia can be explained by electrodynamics.

There is no evidence that GTR is linked to any other forces.
Which is mostly why it's GTR, rather than science or computers or
robots or thinking,
lasers, DVD, GPS, or evolution.

In fact the only serious attempt to couple elecromagnetism to any
other force was its coupling to the weak force.

http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.2595

This is interesting. If there is mirror matter it will add
significantly to our understanding of the weak force which would
acquire a symmetry. However to be frank all that he has proved is that
dark matter is cool - he hasn't really identified a particle.

Whether you use Einstein's field equations based on
the electromagnetic energy density of a volume of
space-time or an induction mechanism, the
gravito-inertial field is being explained in terms of
electrodynamics. The difference is one of heirearchy
or "which force is more fundamental".

The electromagnetic energy tensor
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/em/lectures/node128.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress-energy_tensor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#Energy_density_of_electric_and_magnetic_fields

Electrons, positrons and the associated Coulomb
forces have a fairly solid claim of being "fundamental"
so their derivatives can't be dismissed without experiments
with resolution around 1 part in 10^40.

The authors of that article are colleagues of mine, and I was surprised
to hear that they made such a claim. So I checked.

There is *nothing* in the paper you cite that claims "Gravity/Inertia
can be explained by electrodynamics." As far as I can tell, there is
nothing that even be misinterpreted to imply such a thing. You are
just making this up.

The paper is about "analog gravity," the use of nongravitational
models to describe aspects of gravity. The paper makes it very,
very clear that at this point, the idea that such models can provide
anything close to a complete description of "emergent gravity" is
speculation. Furthermore, none of the analog models discussed
is "electrodynamics" -- nothing whatsoever in the paper supports
your claim.

The conclusion of the paper you cite is the following, in full:

In this review article we have seen the interplay between standard
general relativity and various analogies that can be used to
capture aspects of its behaviour. These analogies have ranged
from rather general but very physical analogue models based on
fluid-acoustics, geometrical optics, and wave optics, to highly
specific models based on BECs, liquid helium, slow light, etc.
Additionally, we have seen several rather abstract mathematical
toy models that bring us to such exotic structures and ideas as
birefringence, bimetricity, Finsler spaces, and Sakharov???s induced
gravity.

The primary reason that these analogies were developed within
the general relativity community was to help in the understanding
of general relativity by providing very down-to-earth models of
otherwise subtle behaviour in general relativity. Secondary reasons
include the rather speculative suggestion that there may be more
going on than just analogy - it is conceivable (though perhaps
unlikely) that one or more of these analogue models could suggest
a relatively simple and useful way of quantizing gravity that
side-steps much of the technical machinery currently employed
in such efforts. A tertiary concern (at least as far as the general
relativity community is concerned) is the use of relativity and
differential geometric techniques to improve understanding of
various aspects of condensed matter physics.

The authors expect interest in analogue models to continue unabated,
and suspect that there are several key but unexpected issues whose
resolution would be greatly aided by the analysis of appropriate
analogue models.

Please try to be a bit more honest when you cite papers.

Analogy: 1a. Similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise
dissimilar. b. A comparison based on such similarity.

What this says is that there is a "strong minority opinion" among
physicists that gravity might emerge from some more fundamental
underlying theory, in analogy to the way that fluid mechanics
emerges from molecular dynamics.

To claim that this means that "Gravity/Inertia can be explained by
electrodynamics" is to be deliberately obtuse.

why there is "Action at a Distance" we will go no further

Hanson. As I have said only Jesse Owens can provide luminous sources
of VUV/soft X rays through synchrotron radiation. There is the free
electron laser that works by quantum inversions produced inside a
synchrotron.

As has been said many times you need GTR for GPS. Also GTR is needed
to determine any orbit with high prescision. This is of great
importance in terms of Earth crossers. Blowing them up with nuclear
bombs is NOT a good idea. Far better to determine orbits accurately
and give them a "nudge" of mm/s

it is not accidental the Einstein and even his followers
never succeeded by their great efforts
to unify all forces **including the curvature of space *
because that is not what it is in nature
it was only a wrong (though ingenious ) guess of Einstein
unlike SR that is right !!
space i s nothing

the fact that 'curvature of mass occurs only by

The EFE solution in the quoted paper leads to the
prediction that g-waves do not exist, and it was expected
LIGO to have thumped a clear signal by now, but it has
NOT. Based on that empirical evidence, the paper is
(so far) physically superior to classical GR.

That is incorrect. Guv has 4 dimensions and one of them is time. That
you get from time is a equation of the form

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_waves

where Quad = - d^2/dt + Del represents the flat-space d'Alembertian
operator, and τ(αβ) represents the stress-energy tensor plus quadratic
terms involving h(αβ) . This is just a wave equation for the field
with a source, despite the fact that the source involves terms
quadratic in the field itself. That is, it can be shown that solutions
to this equation are waves traveling with velocity 1 in these
coordinates. (We have put c = 1).

To get gravitational waves we need to throw masses around at an
apreciable fraction of c. It is, as I said quadrupolar.

We have a stress tensor not an electric or magnetic field

I gave the authors credit for the same observation
made by Einstein:

<<A mathematically unified field theory is sought in which
the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field are
interpreted only as different components or manifestations
of the same uniform field, the field equations where possible
no longer consisting of logically mutually independent summands. >>
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/einstein-lecture.html

If some lack of intellect is shown in their similar statement
you might offer your fellow workers some assistance in
putting their thoughts to text.

i said FORCE MESSENGERS
i ddint say electric or magnetic field

now that is that fucken tensor stress

do you think that the physical reality
can be smeared on your mathematics paper and thats all ??

what is your fucken tensor stands for PHYSICALLY ??
does it include mass or not ??
how does it creates gravity ??
is it force messengers ??
and if messengers - do they move in straight lines or not ??
or is it curved space ??
reality is much more specific than abstract formulas

keep well

A Tensor is essentially a matrix of differential operators. It is
gravity GRADIENTS rather than gravity that is being operated on. This
is what makes the waves quadrupolar (or spin 2 as EP physicists would
say).

No, its not too abstract for physical understanding. Let us understand
that if we have mirrors suspended on glass fibers in a long evacuted
tube (LIGO) or mirrors in space (LISA) the two mirrors will experience
different gravitational pulls. Very small difference if we are
thousands of light years away from the original event but detectable
(hopefully) differences. The fact that the Tensor is differential in
itself means QUADRUPOLAR. It means that GEs obey a fourth power law.
This is why LIGO can never detect orbiting pulsars but LISA might. The
Tensor is a rate of change of gravitational pull. Rate of change of
rate of change gives us a quadrupole. That is the physical reality.

The Moon is only travelling at 1km/s it gives off very little in the
way of gravitational radiation. Pulsars are being hurled around at
round about 5%c. Tides are NOT radiation.

BTW - LISA is NASA but a considerable input is coming from ESA. I hope
there will be collaboration on ultra stability in general.

Sought: past and past participle of seek

Seek: 1. To try to locate or discover; search for. 2. To endeavor to
obtain or reach: seek a college education. 3. To go to or toward:
Water seeks its own level. 4. To inquire for; request: seek directions
from a police officer. 5. To try; endeavor: seek to do good.

It is the mark of a true physicist. Mathematicians
can always resolve an absurdity. A physicist will
frequently resort to drowning it. :o)


BTW your "Charge couple" paper still
has the beginning at the end and it still
requires electrons and positrons that are
about 10^40 times larger than those we
can get at the garden supply and use
in this toy model.
