The discussion revolves around a modified version of Coulomb's law and its potential accuracy, particularly in the context of gravitational forces as well. Participants explore the concept of a force that converges as the distance approaches zero and question the validity and origin of this modification.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the nature of the modified Coulomb's law or its accuracy. The discussion remains unresolved, with competing views on the validity of the proposed modification.
Limitations include the lack of clarity on the specific modification being discussed and the absence of references to support the claims made by participants. The discussion also highlights the distinction between personal speculation and established theories.
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"?
