The universality of the s p e c i f i c Planck charge and its role for gravitation. — •Karl Otto Greulich — Fritz Lipmann Institut Beutenbergstr 11 07745 Jena

Gravitation between two Planck masses mPl is quantitatively the same as electrostatic interaction of two Planck charges qPl=e/SQRT alpha. When the specific charge of the formal Planck particle, rhoPl=qPl/mPl, is assigned to a n y mass m, the resulting charge qm=(e/SQRT alpha)(m/mPl)allows to correspondingly calculate any gravitational force by electrostatics. The specific charge rhoPl turns out to be SQRT(G/k0) where G is the gravitation- and k0 the Coulomb constant, i.e. it describes similarly, but simpler than the dimensionless gravitation factor gamma, the ratio between gravitation and electrostatics. Thus, the specific charge of the Planck particle has a fundamental physical core. As a side result, simple expressions for the fine structure constant alpha and the gravitation factor gamma are given: alpha=re*me, gamma=re/mp, where the electron and proton quantities r and m are expressed as multiples of the corresponding Planck units.
