without explanation."
From a physical point of view, now that we know the true nature of gravity-this is of course ridiculous. Another thing is that due to the fact that in matter as a whole, the number of corpuscles of positive (light) and negative (dark) matter is equal, it is possible to introduce the concept of "apparent gravitational mass". However, due to the fact that the electrons do not participate in the gravitational interaction, there is no equality of the inert mass and the apparent gravitational mass, since the electrons do not participate in gravity, but participate in inertia. Therefore, there is no equivalence principle and the inert mass, strictly speaking, is not equal to the apparent gravitational mass, but due to the very small mass of electrons (9.1 x 10>-31 kg), this difference is noticeable at large masses – tens, hundreds and thousands of tons, since there are many electrons in large objects. We have already noted [1], we are interested in large masses of asteroids, because they are the ones that pose a danger to the Earth and, relying on the principle of equivalence, which does not exist in nature, you can make a mistake in the calculations and be exposed to the blow.
Let's continue quoting Wikipedia. "All macroscopic objects, household objects, as well as most elementary particles (electrons, neutrons, etc.) have mass, although, among the latter, there are massless ones (for example, photons). The presence of mass in the particles is explained by their interaction with the Higgs field."
The author of this Wikipedia article is a great humorist. Why did he insert household items here? He would also write toothbrushes here. Aren't they included in macroscopic objects? However, this paragraph hints at the different nature of mass in macroscopic and microscopic objects. The only massless elementary particle is the photon, there are no other massless elementary particles in nature – this is, first of all. Secondly, in macroscopic and microscopic objects, the physical meaning of mass is absolutely the same and consists only in the number of corpuscles of negative (dark) matter. The Higgs field has absolutely nothing to do with it, especially since it does not exist in nature.
