MY FOCUS ON THE QUANTUM SOURCE OF GRAVITY

Abstract

If Newtonian gravitation is modified to use surface-to-surface separation between particles, it can have the strength of nuclear force between nucleons. This may be justified by possible existence of quantum wormholes in particles. All gravitational interactions would be between coupled wormholes, emitting graviton flux in proportional to particle size, allowing for the pointlike treatment above. When the wormholes are 1 Planck length apart, the resultant force is 1040 times the normal gravitational strength for nucleons. I explain the stability of the nucleus by predicting that the force mediated by pions is repulsive, not attractive.
