The same metrical approach can be applied to electromagnetic interactions. Consider point charges A and B. Each is considered to influence the other both electromagnetically and gravitationally with a delay r/c. If A jiggles, then B jiggles in response. B feels only one force, it has only one acceleration, and in simple form F is just ma. That is, forces don't have types, and so it is an error in logic to attempt to produce different types of it and incorporate them into theory. Force is actually quite redundant, there is in reality only the acceleration and the matter being accelerated. Force is a mathematical concept only. In the case of ordinary collisions between neutral masses, the accelerations are all produced via electromagnetic interactions between the charged particles of which the masses are composed. If we provide for long range electromagnetic repulsive forces between these masses, then the accelerating forces are all still electromagnetic in origin. But in the former case, since the masses are neutral, we cannot distinguish these inertial accelerations from a localized gravitational field. This is because when we take the objects as a whole it is easy to overlook the complex series of electromagetic interactions that are actually responsible. In my estimation precisely this same error is commited in the case of the gravitational interactions that we observe. If a complexity of electromagnetic interactions can cause neutral objects to repel each other (ordinary collisions), then it must also be possible for a similar complexity of electromagnetic interactions to cause neutral masses to attract one another. And indeed, in the case of oppositly charged masses, they do attract, not just the charges of opposite sign, but the entire neutral mass to which these charges are bound. Once again, in order for particles of charge of both signs to be accelerated, a complex series of electromagnetic interactions is required, exactly as in the case of collision between neutral masses. So here is an example of where the Coulomb force can be regarded as equivalent to a gravitational force. I am not saying that Coulomb forces are responsible for gravitational interactions between charge neutral masses however. As it so happens charges also exert lorentz forces, and these are dependent upon the relative speeds of the charges wrt each other. Because of these, there really are no "neutral" masses. The positive and negative charges within ordinary matter do not have equal average speeds, but there is an assymetry between them due to their differences in mass. This imbalance in lorentz forces can lead to net attractions, and I have at one point provided the math to that end.
