An Odd Thing Newton Does

In his famous formula for gravity Newton does an odd thing. He multiplies the two masses M1 and M2 to get the force between orbiting objects. Intuitively, one would think that it should be addition. After all, M1 pulls on M2 and M2 pulls on M1. That's addition.

However, Coulombs law has the same quirkiness. It too multiplies two entities in order to get their mutual force.

Newton's law: F = G*M1M2/r^2

Coulomb's law: F = k*q1q2/r^2

Coulomb's law compared to Newton's law

The two formulas have the same form. It is I who deviate from this form in my proposed formula for the capacitor model. The two attracting elements should not be added together. They should be multiplied. Furthermore, I should have included the hypothesis that mass is a function of charge in order to further simplify things. This would have yielded the following equation for the attracting part of the function:

F = G*M(q1)M(q2)/r^2

Instead of M1 and M2, we use the function that relates mass to charge. This function is as of yet unknown, but assumed to exist in the electric universe paradigm.

Adding the repelling dipole on dipole force to the attracting force, we get:

F = G*M(q1)M(q2)/r^2 - k*q1q2/r^3

Since the repelling force is short range, the function arrived at is identical to that of Newton for all planetary and lunar orbits observed in our solar system.

Note: I've come to the conclusion since I wrote this that the repelling force is nothing more exotic than static electricity. All astronomical bodies are negatively charged on their surface and hence mutually repelling each other. This, combined with the attracting force of gravity, which acts from the center of bodies, account for the remarkable stability of orbits.
