Unifying Forces: Gravity and Electromagnetism

This chapter explores the challenges of merging quantum mechanics with general relativity, focusing on the historical efforts to unify gravity and electromagnetism. It examines foundational equations like Newton's law of gravity and Coulomb's law of electromagnetism, highlighting their structural similarities and the complexity involved in developing a cohesive theoretical framework. The discussion also delves into gravitoelectromagnetism, illustrating its potential while acknowledging its limitations in extreme gravitational conditions.
