Thx — that leads me to wonder if there might be a rare case where, in a 3-body system, C is still gravitationally bound but sufficiently low mass and distant to allow the relatively heavy and close pair A and B to progress due to gravitational waves from inspiral to circular? (For this, I’m...
[FONT=Calibri][FONT=PT Sans]I should have followed up more directly on mfb's helpful response.

Thank you, mfb.
Standard model of both as a baseline.
In broader terms, I'm interested in insights from a physics / physicalist / materialist perspective (cosmology, particle physics) into the philosophical question of the one and the many, and how the character of particles are related...
What does the standard model have to say about the relationship between the total mass-energy of the universe and the characteristics of forces and force-carrier particles?
That is, if the total mass-energy were different, would the nature, strength, … of the forces and force-carrier particles...
