People say gravity is an extremely weak force. Weaker than any of the other three basic forces that govern our universe. Explanations to this have varied in all forms of radical ideas (I'm not saying I outright reject them). But it has always pestered me the idea that perhaps gravity is such a weak force because matter is mostly compiled of empty space. In a hydrogen atom, if the proton were the size of a pixel on your screen, the electron would be about another 50,000 pixels away most of the time...right?. Now imagine if all of that empty space had been compacted with protons. The measure of force relative to density is roughly 5.2 x 10^14 times the magnitude of the original force.
Perhaps I'm missing a concept with my idea here. Mind you I am a physics enthusiast and some of the more advanced topics I am still ignorant to. But I still have the right to ask questions. I hope
Your ideas, comments, criticisms, or corrections would be much appreciated. :)
