    a quantum theory of gravity.

    Some particles have mass. These particles exert a gravitational effect, this effect weakening exponentially as a function of distance.

    These massive particles are made up of smaller pieces. These building blocks, whatever they may be, are held together by something that is almost the opposite of gravity, an attractive force that is strengthened exponentially with distance. This unnamed force, or halberty for now, becomes zero as distance approaches zero. This would violate the uncertainty principle, for we know the value of halberty when these building blocks are united, zero. So, just as with vacuum energy, a counteracting force arises to create uncertainty, gravity. This force would weaken with distance.

    Predictions:

    There should be local areas of gravitational anomalies as some pieces of matter exhibit non-zero halberty.

    If one could separate these building block particles and keep them apart, this person could harness untold energy. Whether it is possible to get a net energy gain remains to be seen.

    Not sure why a new force is needed? We have the strong and weak nuclear forces as well as the magnetic force that holds atoms and subatomic particles together.

      Because for every other force, there is an annihilative force that counteracts it. I'm not saying we need a new force, I am saying this force is already present, and its effects are felt as gravity. I turned gravity on its head and realized this would violate the uncertainty principle, which would give rise to gravitational waves. String theory should still work with this.

        Wouldn't all pieces of matter exhibit non-zero halberty, as the distance between your differential "building blocks" is never zero (or they would be coincident)? Not sure what you mean by your uncertainty principle comment, for the same reason. The blocks are never truly coincident.

        Are you postulating there be some point(s) in the universe where sum gravity and sum halberty are equal and opposite, creating a virtual LaGrange point with no net force even though the gravity equations do not predict a point existing there?

          then there's that shack outside LaGrange ...
          they got a lotta nice girls...uh...
          aaawwww... you know what I'm talkin' 'bout....

            Excellent questions, I am working on answers.
