Inverse Square Law
Well using GR gravity is just the geometry of spacetime. Gravity's force
varies as the inverse square of the distance between two objects. The reason is there are 3 dimensions of space. We can think along the lines that the 3 dimensions of space dilute the force of gravity by the exact amount predicted by the inverse square law. How about gravity in the sub-micro level? Can the strength of gravity be seen to show it obey's the inverse square law in very tiny distances? Should we switch to quantum gravity theory going into the sub-microscopic level? Bert |

Just to add this thought. How can we be sure the 2.6 million sun masses
of our galaxy core with such a strong gravity field weakens by the inverse square law? I don't think it does. I don't think gravity obeys the inverse square law in the sub-micro realm. Well they say laws are made to be broken. Bert |

There have been numerous studies, but nothing has shown up yet. It's irrelevant anyway, because the black hole at the centre of our galaxy is hardly "in the sub-micro realm". Its properties have been studied carefully by watching the motion of stars orbiting it, and nothing unusual is seen. -- Rabbit arithmetic - 1 plus 1 equals 10 Remove spam and invalid from address to reply. |

OG Its not some of my weird thinking,but very hypothetical Witten does
not think gravity obeys the inverse square law in the micro realm,and I'm using his thoughts into the macro realm when the source of gravity is so very strong such as cores of spiral galaxies. I have been thinking ways to add gravity that is missing without looking for dark matter. Bert |
