Do you know of an article or book which discusses
a theory of gravitation popular in the 1900s? The
theory explains gravitational attraction as being
caused by a difference in the strength (not the sign)
of the electric fields associated with the aggregate
protons and electrons in matter. Hence, there would
be a net difference which would produce a universal
electrostatic attraction. This theory was espoused by
Lorentz, but every article I find on it is highly
mathematical. A referral to any popular or
undergraduate-level discussion would be greatly
appreciated.
