I suppose the key phrase is: "seem[s] to be weaker."

I would I agree in the sense that the attraction only appears to be stronger. While physical measurements would definately show stronger recorded forces in the attraction configuration, I don't believe this analysis takes into account the overall spatial analysis which I eluded to in a previous post. > > I'm sure the experiment describes an accurate observation of Mother > > Nature's forces. > > I feel fairly sure the experiment is does not prove what the author > claims.
