The links below are to the Sections of the paper on the above two subjects

Introduction - The first section contains a title page, a brief abstract, a contents page, and the main introduction.

Critical Size - The second section provides a definition, and the mathematical derivation of, the critical size of a gravitational source, and then compares this with astronomical bodies ranging from the Moon all the way up to the entire Universe. Subjects subsequently discussed are the maximum mass of a stable gravitational source, Black Holes and Neutron Stars. A law governing the gravitational accumulation of matter is determined and discussed in detail.

Conclusions - Brief concluding remarks.

APPENDIX A - The first Appendix provides access to the the MS EXCEL spreadsheet used to generate two graphs in the Critical Size section above.

APPENDIX B - The second Appendix provides a derivation of the size and mass of the Universe.

APPENDIX C - This Appendix provides detailed ratio error tables for the Laws of the Gravitational Accumulation of Matter, determined in the Critical Size section above.

APPENDIX D - The final Appendix provides an estimate of the mass of the newly discovered planetoid Sedna. The estimate is based upon the results of the gravitational accumulation laws presented in the Critical Size section..
