Just noticed something ... and this may appeal to Mauro Lacy and others who have mentioned or commented on Reginald Cahill's gravity "addition" or "Extra Quantum Gravity Term" ... which as I understand it - is based on one-half alpha, the fine structure constant. It is so small that it can usually be ignored. Cahill is almost completely ignored, it seems. I never noticed the ZPE connection before today.
Basically (if I am not posting this in haste) Cahill's term can be related to ZPE via the epo field. If gravity operates inside a universal Dirac epo field, then VOILA, there you have it ... not proof of anything but further indication that zero point must be reckoned with on many levels, including gravity (Einstein notwithstanding). To wit: positronium consists of an electron and a positron bound together sequentially (on a short time frame) as a "seething" virtual atom, the quantum foam - presumably "located" in "another dimension" whether it be "the aether" reciprocal space, the zero point field, the sea of negative energy, or whatever - ... whereas hydrogen consists of an electron and a proton in 3-space, but there is a great deal of mathematical similarity. The binding energy level of positronium is 6.8eV whereas for hydrogen it is 13.6eV. The 2:1 ratio is not coincidental and we can derive alpha from either. However, an interesting note is that the electron has the same charge in both cases (presumably). But the mass of the positron is ~1836 times less than a proton. Does this imply that mass itself has charge which is proportional to 6.8/1836 (half of alpha)? ... IOW that Cahill was onto something that goes beyond a correction to gravity? - despite being almost completely ignored... Jones
