Hi Torquil, Thanks for the approach! I wonder why you normalized G to be 1. Using the usual 6.63 10^-34m lowers r if we keep in the mks system. Also why a year? Why not a second? For that matter (no pun intended), at those scales, 1 second is pretty close to eternity (the smallest time scale...

Hi Torquil, Thanks for the clarifications. I was under the impression that the space-time fluctuations are found below the Planck length (10^-35 m)

Theoretically, the range of gravity is infinite. OK. But the nature of the fabric of space has "building blocks" (Planck volume?) So while a localized body of mass/energy distorts space-time, the distortion decreases away from the body. I would think this has a practical limit. Just as energy...
