A Possible Mechanism For Gravity Without Forces Acting at a Distance

Don't get ahead of me or yourself

Electrodynamic Divergence of Matter

This paper and this thread is not an attempt to formalize the model,
but more to lay the groundwork and provide some information about the
subject model to those capable and inclined enough to attempt formalization.

Starting with the least possible consideration, two spheres of equal
size and constant density large enough to have some measurable amount
of outward surface acceleration, first just touching each other in free space;
The expansion can be considered to result from the same close
range internal forces as in gases, but controlled in solids and liquids by
the inertial resistance of the outer parts of larger objects, gas, liquid, or
solid.

If all matter expands, the way gases do, this in itself, provides the
basis for a model of gravitation to use for thought experiments and possibly
for finding unexplored experiments to compare with other models.

Any attempt to separate the two spheres should be resisted by
the precise amount the two spheres are being accelerated apart by the
expanding surfaces.

Since the surface points in contact should be in inertial motion,
the centers of mass should be 4-accelerated apart by an amount that
is a whole proportion of the surface gravity of either sphere alone.
Is this acceleration 1, or 2 (in units of "s1-g" for a single sphere)?

Is the force needed to be applied a whole proportion of the
mass of one of the spheres, and is this force (in kg or pounds) 1 or 2?

If the two spheres are separated to one diameter apart, and
released, there will be a short period of time pass before the surfaces
come in contact.

If the two spheres are separated to two diameters apart, is
the time period before contact 1 or 2 times that of one diameter apart?

This will be slow going, with many bumps along the way.
