Dear Timo: A constant in an equation is something like pi, 3.1416...
Since both the surface area of stars, and the temperatures of stars
are variables, those only become ‘constant’ once the values are
plugged in.

What you aren’t considering (relative to your 1,000 fold gravity
difference) is that those stars, with the masses that you state,
aren’t rotating about the midpoint between their centers. And you
aren’t including the surface area of each star in the equation.
Brighter stars will have a larger surface area per unit mass. Also,
though the TOTAL gravity of a star is equal to the product of the
luminosity and the surface area, the fraction of the gravity that’s
holding two objects together is the “illuminated area”, or the
percentage of the total star’s light that actually hits the other
star. It is the addition of photons to the facing sides of stars that
allows the ether pressure on the opposing sides to hold the two stars
together. Please re read my original post, “There is no PULL of
gravity; only the PUSH of flowing ether!”

I’m pleased that you are investigating my New Science theory. You
appear to be one of the brightest people to reply to me on
sci.physics. But like I explained: I am a generalist. When the
concepts fit—without having to throw-out logic or disregard the good
science data that‘s available (minus, of course, the often errant
science theories of others)—then, a theory (like mine) starts having
validity. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time, nor the interest in
math, to seek to ‘prove’ that I’m right. I invalidated the M-M
experiment by showing that such didn’t have a control light course.
The latter invalidation required only an hour of analysis in my public
library, and not a single bit of math. I disproved Einstein’s SR
theory by showing that such violated the Law of the Conservation of
Energy, and other points of logic. Again, no math was required. If
your motive is to disprove my most-logical-concept-for-gravity-that’s-
ever-been-postulated, then, you are forcing me into an adversarial
relationship with you—which I don’t have time for. Your ‘process’
should be to simply accept my theory as logical, then, to use your
obvious talents to verify that theory from the available data. But if
you come running to me at each of your learning steps in the analyses,
you aren’t doing you, me nor science a favor. I’ll respect what you
are doing, if you will respect what I have already done.

The easiest way for you to confirm my theory would be to heat the
larger ball in the Cavendish experiment as hot as possible. The
torsion slowing should occur quicker with the hot ball than with the
same ball cold. No other measurements are required. Do THAT
experiment, and find that the heated ball has more gravity, and you
can sit back and let the astronomers and scientists all over the world
quantify the temperature-variant gravity! I, the generalist, provided
the spark of inspiration. If others get to determine more of the
specifics, they can share in the glory. — NoEinstein —
