The discussion centers on the concept of modifying Coulomb's law and Newtonian gravity to include a convergence of force (##F##) as the distance (##r##) approaches zero. The original poster suggests a version where the force converges to determine the strength of the charge, but this idea lacks a formal reference and is classified as "personal speculation." The conversation highlights the ambiguity in defining such modifications and the necessity for established scientific backing to validate claims.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the nuances of force laws and their modifications in classical mechanics.
The thing inside the quotation mark in the title.Ibix said:What modified form?
There are infinitely many ways to achieve that. Which one do you mean? And where are you getting the idea from?not my name said:What's inside the quotation mark in the title.
I mean the "one" where what ##F## converges to determines the strength of the charge.Ibix said:Which one do you mean?
Can you provide a reference to what you are talking about?not my name said:I mean the "one" where what ##F## converges to determines the strength of the charge.
No. (It's just something I came up with.)Ibix said:Can you provide a reference to what you are talking about?
It is called “personal speculation”.not my name said:And is that modified version of Coulomb's law "more accurate"?
Edit: Same thing goes for Newtonian gravity, is "Newtonian gravity but ##F## converges as ##r\rightarrow##0" "more accurate"?
