Bernulf Kanitscheider on Universe - Dictionary of Arguments
I 182 Electromagnetism/gravity/cosmology/Kanitscheider: It is assumed that the galaxies and the universe as a whole are electrically neutral. There is no negative particle of gravity. Therefore she is always attractive. This does not necessarily follow from the field equations themselves, but is forced by the addition of energy conditions for the known matter fields. Gravitation/Cosmology/Kanitscheider: In contrast to electromagnetism, gravitation cannot be shielded. Therefore, it is the only interaction used to explain the universe. >Gravitation/Kanitscheider, >Theory of Relativity, >Cosmological principle/Kanitscheider._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
