In Dewey Larson's Reciprocal system of physics there is an effective ~15 femtoG repulsive acceleration throughout the universe ( it's a fundamental property of the universe ). Gravity acts against this, so when the gravitational pull of star at some distance away reaches 15 fG, the stars repel instead of attract ( The gravitational limit ). That's on the order of 4 light years away for out sun, so stars generally won't get closer than that ( to simplify ).

That accounts for chemical bonding and may also account for the Casimir force. ).

NASA has no way of knowing this, nor do they know other relevant details - like the 'type' of matter. One simply cannot discuss this subject intelligently without reference to the disputed work of R. Foot, who is kind of the R. Crumb of cosmology. http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Foot_R/0/1/0/all/0/1 ...
