Hoyt, Interesting. I am glad you remind us of Dewey Larson's physics. It is somewhat ironic that Larson is “too far out there”… even for those of us who are already on the "fringes" of mainstream physics.
The “45.6 nm” dimension should be amenable to some kind of proof, if it is accurate… something like a MEMS or AFM cantilever should show a gravity anomaly. Has this been done? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_force_microscopy If there was one shred of proof for something so earth-shaking as this, it would make all the difference. Larson is one of those thinkers (like R. Foot) who are compelling on some details of a broad theory … but in the end are too far removed from the mainstream, at least presently, to justify giving full consideration (unless you have tenure). Nevertheless, it is not easy to write-off his ideas, and who knows that parts of it could appear in the next "standard model"... -----Original Message----- From: Hoyt A. Stearns Jr. 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 ). http://www.reciprocalsystem.com/rs/cwkvk/gravlim.htm http://www.reciprocalsystem.com/rs/satz/cluster.htm ( Also, below unit distance, 45.6 nm, gravity repels and the "expansion" of the universe attracts! 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 ...
