:
: The inverse square is a description of behaviour.
: A mathematical 'verb' if you like.
: It is not a noun. It doesn't say what is there.
Nothing needs to be there.
Paint the inside of a sphere of radius r and another of radius
2 r.
The 2 r sphere should requires 4 times as much paint.
Usually, I suggest painting the outside but since you mentioned
behaviour... I thought... with the fumes and all; It kinda' fit. ;-)

: | Entities share their electric charge by moving neighbors closer that
: | lack it.
: | Entities harbour their electric charge by pushing away neighbours
that
: | have enough.
:
: 'Charge' is a noun.
: The behaviour is also 1/r^2, but with a different constant
electric is an adjective.Charge is a noun.
Hydrogen is an adjective. Atom is a noun.
What can I say? I learn english by listening to U.S. presidents.

: | Entities share their magnetic field by aligning their neighbors.
They
: | harbour
: | their magnetic field by turning their neighbors orthogonal.
:
: 'Field' is a noun also.
Thus is can be shared in space or with creatures from space.
see 'Crop Circles'.

: | So what is is left that entities can do to share excess energy with
: | their neighbors?
:
: Excess ENERGY?
: I don't see any excess energy when a magnet is stuck to a fridge.
But you did when it was 1 mm distant.
: I have to expend energy to remove it. I also have to expend energy
: getting out of this chair. I don't see any excess.

: | What is left that entities can do share their neighbor's excess
energy?
: | Pull them closer!
: | Ya sure can't ask 'em send over a cup of sugar and 3 photons. Eh?
: | So the apple pulls the earth closer to get it's energy.
:
: Nope... It loses it.
Didn't ya ever read Adam and Eve? You would know that apple's have
*intent* if you had. It was the apple's intent to gain the energy. I
didn't
say whether it was thawarted by other forces or not.
Space probes have intent too. They intend to share a planets energy
by crashing into it but other forces known only to eveiel scientists
trick
them into doing a sling-shot manoeuvre.
"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
and by opposing end them."
To die; or to be suspended; and by ending death
"to say we end the heart-ache and the
thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to."
'Tis nobler to defy the claims of death
on our mortal minds and
to take arms against its eternal hold,
and by opposing death end it."
--Shakescharge
Anyway, the earth/apple system have a higher density and temperature as
a result
so some radiation from the system should be expected.
(excellent agreement is derived conformably to this point of
view) ;-)

:
: Thanks... I think.
: Androcles
Of course ya mean 'Thanks'. I left a few rough edges on it
so that you'd have something to complain about. :-)
Now... Can you conceive a subatomic mechanism like
pole alignment of magnets, that causes graviataional flux
to be shared the way magnetic flux is shared by entities.
Sea urchins can't turn such that their spines are orthogonal.
If ya can, with something like an imaginay axis (or 3 )
then something more complete could be stated than simply
attracting mass and radiating energy?
Kind regards,
Sue...
