| May 11, 2016 at 17:16 | comment | added | UKH | Suppose we have some cosmic entity with very high density of electric charge. I'am speaking about the electric analogue of a black hole. This could wipe out most portion of the universe around it by the same analysis on the magnitude of the two forces as you said. But, I don't understand the radiant energy originated by mass and energy distributions are weakly affected to the same :( | |

| May 11, 2016 at 17:12 | comment | added | UKH | Thank you, I have done those calculations (comparing electric and gravitational forces) myself and knew the huge order at which they differ. But dense objects like black holes bend spacetime so brutally and the energy coming from such a cosmic body doing some violent event is very poor!!!!. In the case of electromagnetic waves, they could impart a significant force on charges and since charges comprise matter, they interact with matter. But, why gravitational waves behave so differently? | |
