Potential Links: Gravity and Nuclear Force

Abstract

The gravitational inverse square law is microscopic approximation. I suggest that it should be modified for elementary particles to use the surface-to-surface separation of the particles rather than the center-to-center separations. For small particles at macroscopic separations, the ratio between the center-to-center distance D and the surface-to-surface distance d, D/d, approaches unity. At microscopic separations, this ratio grows very large. Here I apply this ratio to several microscopic situations and derive the nuclear coupling constants. I will then present a model of a gluon/graviton transformation to justify my surface originating modification.
