Abstract
We provide a quantum derivation of Einstein's Weak Equivalence Principle
(WEP) of general relativity using a new quantum gravity theory proposed by the
authors called Electro-Magnetic Quantum Gravity or EMQG (ref. 1). Newtonian
Inertia is a property of matter due to the strictly local electrical force
interactions contributed by each of the (electrically charged) elementary
particles of the mass with the surrounding (electrically charged) virtual
particles (virtual masseons) of the quantum vacuum. The sum of all the tiny
electrical forces (photon exchanges with the vacuum particles) originating in
each charged elementary particle of the accelerated mass is the source of the
total inertial force of a mass which opposes accelerated motion in Newton's law
'F = MA'. We found that gravity also involves the same 'inertial'
electromagnetic force component that exists in inertial mass. We propose that
Einstein's general relativistic Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) originates
from common 'lower level' quantum vacuum processes occurring in both inertial
mass and gravitational mass, in accordance with the principles of quantum field
theory. Gravitational mass results from the quantum activities of both the
electrical force (photon exchanges) component and the pure gravitational force
(graviton exchanges) component, acting simultaneously on the elementary
particles that make up a mass.
