Victor J. Slabinsky did the math for VanFlandern and concluded that at least 10^20 CG’s must be scattered for every one that is absorbed. [When first posted, the superscript was lost; it should be 10^20, not 1020.]

I'm glad you edited that in a separate post because I wouldn't have reread the first one. Sometimes the "Save" button doesn't work too well, so if it takes too long, you can press "Go Advanced" and then "Save Changes" from there (as I'm having to do for this post, for instance
). It seems to work better that way.
Well, as far as what you wrote, that's the same thing I have found, whereas that amount of the energy density which is scattered by an individual particle is about 10^21 times greater than than that amount which is absorbed as gravitational pressure. Not that we should get into too much of that here, though, because this is neither of our thread, unless
paul schroeder is also interested, but where did you find that?
