The original question was roughly: 'Are we sure
that the value of G within an Atomic Scale system
[say, an H atom or a proton] is the conventional
Newtonian value, and if so what is the experimental
basis for this surety?'
The answer, as anyone who is honest and willing to
fight for an unbiased scientific result will find, is very
clearly; "No!"
We have believed that G is the same no matter what
the Scale or context. We have made it an axiom that
G is a universal scale invariant constant. Moreover
we have built up the prevailing paradigm around
the assumption that this is inviolable.
But it is all based on pure and unadulterated
speculation. Purely an assumption. Nothing more.
If each cosmological Scale, e.g., the Atomic,
Stellar, Galactic Scales, etc. each have their
own specific G values, then a completely different
understanding of nature is possible. It would be
a discrete self-similar cosmology, or one could
call it a discrete fractal cosmology.
No valuable science is thrown out in the new
paradigm, but nearly everything is reinterpreted.
This is what new paradigms are all about.
I do not expect that Fluffy, or those who share
his psychological makeup, will have much interest
in considering a new paradigm. But perhaps there
are one or two readers out there who would be
interested in considering what nature would be
like if the G-values are different for each Scale,
and differ by a factor of ~ 10^38 between neighboring
Scales.
I can promise you that the the results are elegant
and amazing. I can also promise you that there is
a very large body of scientific evidence that supports
the new paradigm. I can also assure you that the
paradigm's dark matter predictions will definitively
verify/falsify the whole paradigm in the near future.
