AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the accuracy of modified versions of Coulomb's law and Newtonian gravity, particularly regarding the convergence of force as distance approaches zero. Participants question the specifics of the proposed modifications and seek clarification on the theoretical basis behind them. The original poster suggests a personal theory but fails to provide references or established sources to support their claims. The conversation emphasizes the need for scientific backing when presenting new ideas. Ultimately, the thread concludes with a reminder about the rules regarding personal speculation in scientific discussions.

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"?

The thing inside the quotation mark in the title.

There are infinitely many ways to achieve that. Which one do you mean? And where are you getting the idea from?

I mean the "one" where what ##F## converges to determines the strength of the charge.

Can you provide a reference to what you are talking about?

No. (It's just something I came up with.)
 
So this is something you've made up? You might want to re-read the rules on personal theories if so. Otherwise, say where you read/heard about this and it might be possible to help. What you have said so far isn't narrowing anything down for me.

It is called “personal speculation”.

Thread closed.
