  • Hello
    Since my early studies I realized that the Newton gravitation force law was completely wrong in small distances. I have been fired from the class because my physics teacher was very angry about my claims: How could scientific community accept to use a non accurate law without trying to correct it!!?

    I think that mass explanation is something simple and reachable. I’m working on a gravity model and I’m facing the same problem again! The Newton force law is wrong with small distances and high masses. And there is no other referential!

    I can not build a model based on wrong gravity approximation

    In my new web site I propose a new gravitational approximation and I would like to have your opinion on it.

    Thank you
    Saad

  • you are right! the law was settled for spheres interaction and I made wrong calculations. Thank you for opening my eyes on that point. I was first very disappointed about my approximation, but actually it makes my unification project less difficult to achieve.
    I’m working on an eather model (not a law) that explains gravity, space-time wrapping, black hole, wave forms using string methodology (not theory) and I would like to send you a copy to get your opinion. I will certainly need 3 or 4 weeks modeling for a first understandable shot.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Hi Carl:

    I was just about to look up your blog, when lo and behold, a message came into my blog from you.

    Anyway, thanks for the tip to use worldpress, I think this blogging business is going to be a lot of fun.

    But this latex stuff, yuk! Any easy way to convert microsoft word equations into latex?

    Jay.

  • Hello Carl,

    I’ve been meaning to forward this site address to you. http://plus.maths.org/competition/
    It’s a link to Plus Magazine which is holding a math essay competition in several categories. One of the categories is for ‘university student and general public entrants.’ http://plus.maths.org/competition/guidelines_general.html
    I thought of you when I first read about it due to your obvious interest and written thoughts concerning math and science. The closing date for entering is March 31, 2008. I hope you’ll consider submitting a story as it would be quite interesting to read your entry. I, myself, am contemplating a very short fictional piece to forward.

    Best wishes, Fred
