I hypothesised that the gravitational field is an extension of the electron densities of the two atoms and that an electron from one atom may quantum tunnel to within the electroweak range of the nucleus of the other atom. The tunneling electron would thereafter exert a force of attraction over the protons in the foreign nucleus. This creates a force of attraction between the two atoms. I used Newton's law of Universal Gravitation to estimate the force of gravity between the two atoms. I then divided the number of atoms multiplied by the average atomic number of the system; then divided that number by the ratio between gravitational attraction and electrical repulsion; then multiplied the resulting number by the charge of the electron, and then fed the resulting number into Coulomb's law with the charge of the proton. The resulting figure from Coulomb's law came close to those of Newton's law, with a few orders of magnitude difference. I therefore concluded that gravity is equal to the electrostatic forces between an electron density and the nucleus, plus the pressure of radiation between the two atoms.

Although the rules governing the forces between charged particles and gravitating particles are so similar, few have speculated that there is any direct relationship between the two forces. Instead, the mainstream of physics has posited a new particle (a graviton), yet undetected, to explain the force of gravity. In this paper, I intend to demonstrate how there may exist an equivalence relationship between the force of gravity and the electrostatic forces with a couple of new assumptions concerning fundamental physics.

For several years, I have been exploring this relationship in the hope of being able to describe gravity using quantum mechanical effects. Using the ratio between the force of gravity and the force of electrostatic repulsion, I have been able to isolate a number of extraneous (what I refer to as ‘secondary density’ or ‘secondary field’) electrons that tunnel to within the electroweak range of a foreign atomic nucleus and there exert a force of attraction over the protons in that nucleus. The macroscopic effect of this attractive force is that the two atoms are attracted to one another.

The secondary electron density can be defined as 'all the appearances of the electron at a point beyond the Van der Waals radius'. The two terms added together produce the electron volume probability density: () % =) + % (. 1) Each of the two terms) and % can be further-defined in more explicitly mathematical terms in the following way, as described above:

The electron, from its bound state around a nucleus, tunnels into other atoms and exerts a force of attraction over the proton(s) in the nucleus of those atoms. This attractive force amounts to the exchange of a W+ boson to, or from, the nucleus. To make this consistent with quantum mechanics, the electron in its bound state must tunnel roughly once every Planck time.
