Static Electricity and Coulomb's Law

Maxwell’s Treatise on Electricity starts with the description of static electricity which is caused by friction.

In Cartesian Physics, Lightning is caused by the rubbing of the clouds when one cloud drops relative to another which stays put or goes up.

• This causes minutiae (electrons) to be released and form channels.
• The channels allow striated particles (virtual photons) to flow through the channels.
• This flow creates the electricity as lightning.

In Material Superphysics, we call electricity as electric-fluid in reference to the liquid nature of space particles and the aether.

• It is the space particles that cause the virtual photons and electrons to flow and spin as to create channels.

This electric-fluid is the main substance of radiance as it is responsible for many phenomena associated with the Radiant Layer.

Coulomb’s Law: Netwon’s G in Radiance

Augustin de Coulomb first did experiments with electricity using a torsion balance in 1834.

It showed that the magnetic force* between 2 charged spheres was affected by:

• the amount of “charge” in the spheres
• the distance between them

This is consistent with the inverse square law for gravity and light:

• Gravity is the spread of displaced space particles
• Light is the spread of photons
• Magnetic attraction and repulsion is from the flow of virtual photons

This is why we can regard Coulomb’s Law as Netwon’s G in the Radiant Layer.
