so every atom has gravity. when you put two atoms together, they stick and their collective gravity field grows as if the side of the atom touching the other one is half continuing to pull on the friend atom and half sending it's gravity force to the other sides. so the collective field grows, suppose enough to pull 10 other atoms because they're near enough. the 11 friend atoms completely cover the one. the collective field grows even more, in fact multiplies 12X the first atom and 6X the two? probably not so much because that would be free energy considering that each atom is still forcing the other atoms in their direction and so can't provide the entirety of their gravity outwards to new atoms. but certainly more than when they're alone. maybe also the atoms no longer use the gravity from the others when they are as close as they can be, only when they try to move away. (i've been shown the analogy that relates gravity to a 3 dimensional figure of a stretchy film on which items rest and as one is set on it, it makes an impression that pulls others to it. and as more collect, the depression deepens. thats enlightening until you realize it takes gravity to pull and make the depressions, but still interesting cause it suggests that gravity might not come from atoms but instead the media in which atoms exist, called space i guess. and its interesting because as long as there's no structure suporting this space film at any point, then there might be a heaviest point where everything in existence is being pulled to. in that case, one point will affect every bit of matter and so the gravity of the heaviest object could be felt anywhere in the universe and someone could mark the direction of it at two or three different points and find the center of the universe.) and when you have countless numbers of atoms like the amount on earth, each atom's contribution is stacked so the gravity's strong enough to pull our bodies' atoms to it. pretty hard too. if we add more atoms to earth, the collective force should grow. planets with more atoms than earth have stronger gravities supposedly. now when you heat an atom, it grows and loses density because the electrons spin faster and have farther out orbits. i wonder if that changes atomic gravity somehow? so you can see why i can sit and play with magnets for hours... god i waste so much time. which is why my mood is what it is.
