I once read that "black holes orbiting each other follow the exact same mathematics as electrons orbiting protons", but I was unable to find the direct source.

I once read that "black holes orbiting each other follow the exact same mathematics as electrons orbiting protons", but I was unable to find the direct source. I did find another article comparing black holes to elementary particles: http://www.technologyreview.com/view/413483/could-all-particles-be-mini-black-holes/ http://www.technologyreview.com/view/413483/could-all-partic...

They would naturally follow the same mathematics, since the formula for gravitational attraction and the formula for electrical attraction are both following the inverse square law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law
