Can a balance of electric and gravitational forces be achieved? Remark to "Retraction: Conservative relativity principle and energy-momentum conservation in a superimposed gravitational and electric field" by A.Kholmetskii and T.Yarman

TL;DR

The paper defends the validity of a previous approach to electric and gravitational forces, emphasizing its consistency with established experiments like Millikan's, despite recent criticisms.

Contribution

It provides a rebuttal to criticisms of their earlier work, reaffirming the correctness of their approach in combining electric and gravitational forces.

Findings

Agreement with Millikan's experiments

Rejection of alleged scientific errors

Validation of their approach in force balance

Abstract

We explain our strong disagreement with the statement about "several scientific errors" in our paper [arXiv:1407.6619] and highlight the validity of our approach, which had been already confirmed in the well-known experiments by Millikan.
