THE CRITICAL SIZE OF A GRAVITATIONAL SOURCE
Peter G. Bass C2 Version 1.1.1 Abstract. This paper investigates the possibility of a gravitational source possessing a physical radius of the same order of magnitude as its gravitational radius, and accordingly, its resulting characteristics. Also an empirical law for the gravitational accumulation of matter is determined. C2 Version 1.1.1 1. Introduction. The vast majority of gravitational sources are such that their physical radius is very much larger than their gravitational radius. In addition, these two parameters remain largely constant over many aeons, and so the gravitational radius is never approached by either the physical radius of the source itself, or by some other object. Even in a gravitationally collapsing star at the end of its main stream life, the collapse normally stops when the white dwarf stage is reached, and the physical radius remains much larger than the gravitational radius. The only instance where the above is not purported to be the case, is that of the entire Universe where it was shown in [2] that, at the end of its first phase of evolution, the physical radius was gravitationally reduced to less than three times the gravitational radius. The outcome was shown to be the second phase of evolution wherein the gravitational field of the Universe, its Acceleration Potential, had become repulsive and was responsible for the eventual recession of the distant galaxies. This paper investigates the possibility of other celestial bodies possessing characteristics such that a similar scenario could be enacted. The results enable discussions concerning the characteristics of such diverse subjects as the maximum mass of gravitationally stable accumulated matter, black holes, neutron stars, and the nucleon particle. The investigation also leads to an apparent new relationship between the mass and the physical size of gravitationally accumulated matter. The consequences of this relationship are subsequently reviewed in some detail. For a complete understanding of the subject matter presented in this paper, it is necessary that reference [2] be read thoroughly first. In the interests of brevity, unless necessary for complete clarity, a parameter will only be defined in this paper if it has not previously been so in either [1] or [2] with which familiarity is assumed.
