Abstract
Newton's Universal Gravitational Law (1) provided the magnitude of the Force of the attraction between massive bodies. However, the reason what causes this attraction remained a mystery until the introduction of Einstein's General Relativity Theory (GRT) (2). GRT explained the attraction between massive bodies, but Physics does not provide yet a tested, verifiable explanation to the question: why Electric Charges attract and repel each other, despite the fact, that the Coulomb's Law Force (3) provided the magnitude of the Force of the attraction or the repulsion between Electric Charges. Current main stream Physics does provide several theories which attempt to provide an explanation to why Electric Charges attract and repel each other, but all these theories are still in the stage of research and investigation, and none propose a feasible test or experiment to provide additional validity to its claims. This paper proposes tentative additional explanations to the question: why Electric Charges attract and repel each other, along with a feasible proposed experiment.
