The Origin of Gravity

"The Origin of Gravity" is a technical book that addresses the explanation of the origin of gravitation. The author, Hubert Veringa, combines the principles of quantum mechanics and relativity theory in this analysis, without deviating from established concepts or introducing exotic new particles. The book demonstrates that the Schrödinger equation in a multi-particle system leads to pairs that are crucial for deriving the classical Newtonian laws. It is argued that gravitation acts as a second-order effect over large distances. The work provides a comprehensive and consistent presentation of the steps that have led to the derivation of the fundamental laws of gravitation, emphasizing the precise justification of fundamental assumptions that are also significant on a cosmological level.
