7. Summary
- Solar system-like systems can be described by the physical models and mathematical tools of relativistic quantum mechanics. The basic relativistic equations by analogy are valid in a weak gravitational field, the gravitational potential and the electric potential exist independently and simultaneously.
- An approximate value for Hx for the solar system can be determined from calculations and measurements.
- The charge of the Sun can be calculated using the analogy.
