Magnetogravity

|
Magnetogravity, or Magneto-gravity, is gravity that has been modified by magnetic forces. Gravity waves can be altered by radiative magnetic fields, primarily by low frequency electromagnetic interaction.
Edmund Whittaker papers in 1903 and 1904 indicated that any potential can be analyzed by a Fourier-like series of waves, such as a planet's gravitational field point-charge. The superpositions of inward and outward wave pairs produce the "static" fields (or scalar potential). These were harmonically-related. By this conception, the structure of electric potential is created from two opposite, though balanced, parts. Whittaker suggested that gravity possessed a wavelike "undulatory" chatacter.
