I mean, one could argue that perhaps EM is really a special kind of gravitational ripple (eg, geons might work out in quantum gravity to model electrons and photons, and then the question arises that if all EM is gravity induced and modeled, is EM not part of gravity?), but I don't know that I've heard it the other way.
It's also certainly not the mainstream view, as classical geons are extremely unstable.
- M_Grey 10y agoI'm not sure how EM and Gravity could be unified as a single force, especially since the best theory of gravity that's out there describes gravity as curvature in spacetime, not a force.
- wallace_f 10y agoIf this is true, the literature I've read--as a layman myself reading from sources written for the layman on the subject--is wildly misleading. i.e. from the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction >Other theorists seek to quantize the gravitational field by the modelling behaviour of its hypothetical force carrier, the graviton and achieve quantum gravity (QG).
