I started by characterizing the physical properties of the quantum vacuum. This led to a wave-based model of an electron. This model successfully generates an electron’s approximate energy, inertia and de Broglie wave characteristics. However, then something unexpected happened. The electron model also created two types of disturbances in the surrounding quantum vacuum. The first order effect was found to correspond to the electron’s electric/magnetic field. The much weaker, second order effect was found to correspond to the electron’s gravitational field.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in;background:white'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#111111;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in;background:white'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#111111;background:white'>Since this single model was creating both forces, the model was predicting how an electron’s quantum mechanical properties should unify the electron’s gravitational and electromagnetic forces. Usually, the goal of an electron model is to explain known electron properties. This model was going further and predicting there should be previously unknown fundamental relationships between the electron’s electrostatic force and the electron’s gravitational force. This appears to be quantum gravity generated on the scale of electrons rather than the scale of black holes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in;background:white'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#111111;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in;background:white'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#111111;background:white'>These predictions have now been proven correct without requiring new experiments.
