Quote from: Thebox on 22/04/2016 16:15:07So you are saying that electrons are just negative, negative what if not charge?Yes negative charge. What I am saying is that you can have positive or negative charges, but electrons only have negative charge.
So you are saying that electrons are just negative, negative what if not charge?

Correct. We can determine experimentally that protons and electrons have opposite charge, so if we define the electron as having negative charge (as is the current convention) then proton must have positive charge.

Quote from: TheboxSo you are saying that electrons are just negative, negative what if not charge?Your grammar here makes your question unclear. But electrons are not charge. They have charge.
So by the word charge, you actually mean a readout of some description relating to -1 and +1?
The electrons of the Earth are attracted to the Protons of the Sun?The electrons of the Sun are attracted to the Protons of the Earth? etc
I have said electric charge of -1e, the e is actually the unit/symbol for electric charge. So the proton has a charge of +1e or +1.602×10-19 Coulombs.
Quote from: Thebox on 23/04/2016 07:08:30So by the word charge, you actually mean a readout of some description relating to -1 and +1?Yes a measurement.For the electron it is approximately −1.602×10-19 Coulombs. For convenience this is usually referred to as an electric charge of -1e.Edit: although I have said electric charge of -1e, the e is actually the unit/symbol for electric charge. So the proton has a charge of +1e or +1.602×10-19 Coulombs.
Is it just me..... So if I have a Proton that becomes charged and becomes lets say +5e, are you saying that when it loses it's charge and returns to +1e it has not become a more negative than it's state at +5e?
added - so is 0e attracted to 0e? what I dont understand is if you know all the components of something, then obvious one of those components is what does something, the component being the mechanism to the something, a resistor resists for example. A proton must have a capacitance and so on.
Neither has capacitance or charge anything to do with gravity.
Quote from: Colin2B on 24/04/2016 17:59:23Neither has capacitance or charge anything to do with gravity.I never said it did.
Gravity doe's not exist, all things are buoyant relative to each other by the combination of positive and negative charge .
So in metal expansion, if the proton is not gaining e and neither is the electron, what is expanding exactly?
does +1e not equal >4/3 pi r³?
Is the strong nuclear force attracted to itself to cause contraction when the metal cools?
Quote from: Thebox on Today at 19:46:17Is the strong nuclear force attracted to itself to cause contraction when the metal cools?Nothing to do with strong nuclear force, that is to do with holding protons and neutrons together.

For example, iron 56, with its 26 protons and 30 neutrons, has a diameter of about 4 proton diameters.But the nucleus of the atom is a tiny dot compared to the size of an atom. Iron has an atomic diameter of 250 pm = 250,000 fm.The strong nuclear force cannot affect the nucleus of an adjacent atom - it doesn't have the range. But the cloud of electrons around an atom can affect the cloud of electrons around an adjacent atom. So the chemical, electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal properties of an atom are determined by the properties of the electrons around the atom. How many electrons are present around an atom is affected by the electrical charge on the nucleus, but not the strong nuclear force.
That extra ingredient is the nuclear magnetic effect that spins the electron around the balanced nucleas
electrons are attracted to protons and like wise charges repel, you have the answers in my opinion but for some reason are just ruling it out.
I ask science what is the mechanism of gravity?Science says we don't know. You know what is inside the box so you know something in that box is attractive, so what in that box is attractive?
Reading between the lines, are you saying that the Earth is attracted to the Sun because Earth and Sun have opposite electric charges?
This implies that all the other planets (which are also attracted to the Sun) have the same charge as the Earth.
The thing that causes gravity is Mass.
The thing that carries electromagnetic forces is called the photon. By analogy, the thing that carries gravitational forces has been dubbed the graviton.
