Gravitational force of one nucleon

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the gravitational force exerted by nucleons and the concept of the smallest possible black hole, which is theorized to have a mass equal to Planck's mass. Participants clarify that while a black hole at Planck's mass exists, nucleons, such as protons and neutrons, also exert gravitational forces but do not qualify as black holes. The consensus is that there is no contradiction in the gravitational behavior of nucleons despite the existence of a Planck mass black hole.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational force and its implications in physics
  • Familiarity with the concept of black holes and their mass characteristics
  • Knowledge of Planck's mass and its significance in theoretical physics
  • Basic principles of particle physics, particularly regarding nucleons
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and implications of Planck's mass in quantum gravity
  • Explore the differences between black holes and subatomic particles like nucleons
  • Study gravitational interactions at the quantum level
  • Investigate the role of nucleons in the context of general relativity
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravitational theory.

It is supposed that the smallest posible black hole has mass of Planck's mass.

But obviously one nucleon (or an electron) also acts with gravitational force.

If we assume that the smallest possible black hole has really Planck's mass, is here any contradiction that nucleon acts with gravitational force?

No, because a nucleon isn't a black hole.
