Indra, the real answer is that this is caused by the electromagnetic
force which has been understood for literally centuries.  This
may sound like mere posturing, (I can even hear Mr. Abian now,
"you don't understand it so you call it electromagnetism"),
but electromagnetism was proved in the 1920s by a man whose
name begins with K that temporarily escapes me to actually be gravity
operating in 5 dimensions.

Let me put that another way.  Gravity (relativistically speaking)
is a distortion of the space-time continuum.  If you extend that
continuum to 5 dimensions, you get electromagnetism, which
causes the two negative charges to repel.  There is no need to
resort to these Status Quos and Provokers and Provokees which
are unclear, undefined, un-backed-up by mathematics, unpredictive,
unscientific, and (I must admit) rapidly becoming more and more
uninteresting.

I'm sorry if the science in this post is muddled. If you like,
I will email you with a better description, or perhaps someone
with more knowledge and better communication skills will oblige
us with a translation.
