To explain how gravity actually works we need to review what science has already told us about this fundamental force of nature that we wouldn't exist without. The formulas for the force of gravitation and that of electromagnetism are identical except electromagnetic force can be either attractive or repulsive, while gravity is always attractive. The other difference is that electromagnetic force is 4.17 x 10(42) times stronger than gravity, that's 4 million,170 thousand, trillion, trillion, trillion times as strong. It's obvious that gravity, though significant at larger scales, is a relatively weak force compared to electromagnetism. All matter has the property of gravity. Matter is made of energy-mass. From Einstein we learn that mass is the densest condensate of energy-mass in a proportional ratio equal to the speed of light squared. More than 99% of the mass of an atom is contained in the nucleus. Logically, the nucleus would be a good place to look for a cause, if any, for gravity. The atomic nucleus is composed of two components, the positively charged proton and the slightly more massive uncharged neutron. The currently accepted nucleon theory of the "Standard Model, Quark theory" makes no attempt to address or describe gravity, so it will be ignored.

In With the Somewhat New

An alternative nucleon theory that is based on overlooked, but, recently reconfirmed data can explain the mechanical cause of gravity at the quantum level. The fundamental mechanics hypothesis suggested is based on the laws of electrodynamic field mechanics, E=mc2, electron-proton scattering data and the logic of cause and effect. It describes the positive proton particles in the nuclei of all matter as fundamental oscillators. This oscillating model is not an entirely new concept in physics. Max Planck a famous pioneering physicist, often referred to as the, "Father of Quantum Physics", in his effort to explain black-body radiation, proposed that the whole atom was a fundamental oscillator. Back in 1899 our presently accepted "Rutherford-Bohr" model of the atom, where tiny negatively charged electrons orbit a central, overall positively charged nucleus at various energy levels, did not exist. Back then nobody knew the structure of atoms or if they had any structure at all. Though, wrong about the atom, Planck's intuitive hunch about a primary oscillator appears to be true. The proton is an internally driven spherical oscillator, an electro-dynamic perpetual motion machine. It
