Why is gravity so weak?

July 5, 2026April 11, 2026 by David Humpherys

Gravity and electromagnetism share the same Planck force ceiling. The apparent weakness of gravity can be expressed entirely as a consequence of the tiny mass ratios m/m_P of the particles in our environment — not as an intrinsic property of the gravitational interaction itself.
