Stuff
So, my son is able to keep stuff down again, and the fever isn't quite so high, so that's good news.
Had an idea the other day and thought I'd share it here:
The four fundamental forces of physics that we're aware of are the Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic, and Gravity. The first three operate primarily on the quantum level, though their effects are easy to see on a larger scale. Gravity, however, seems to be purely macroscopic in nature.
My thought was that Gravity is a bit like a macroscopic version of the Strong force, drawing together planets, stars, star systems, and in part galaxies similar to how the Strong force builds atoms and in some cases molecules (depending on the bond type). However, we have this macroscopic repulsive force that we're currently assigning to either a "cosmological constant" or "dark energy". Couldn't it be possible that this is merely the macroscopic version of the Weak force? Along a similar vein, couldn't most so-called "dark matter" be explained by a macroscopic corollary to the Electromagnetic force? This would fit with the mostly-symmetry we find throughout nature.
Just some thoughts.
