You have a lot more patience than I, papageno! That's praiseworthy. But after all these corrections with no meaningful responses, it must be wearing at least a little thin by now.
Meanwhile, good work re your replies. A shame your target audience doesn't seem to comprehend physics fundamentals. :-?

Maksutov, I think all here have had a lot of patience with my attempt to communicate something I see as a conceptual conundrum, but it seems no one picked up on it. So I take it as my personal failure to communicate something I see, but I don't know how else to present it. I've run out of ideas!
In
papageno's last big post I counted at least 10 times where he says I'm "wrong" or "don't understand", so must accept this as my failure. In my previous incarnation (as "Lunatik" now in permanent 'safing') I had shown a paper on Atomic Mass with some mathematical scratchings on how G is different for each orbital region (which happens to unexpectedly grow at the rate of one G per AU), but then too I was told how wrong I was, or didn't understand, by the same parties, so pulled it from its site for review (it's up for peer review at the moment). I don't have the answers, and would not have them unless further astrophysical research measured a different Newton's G, which has not happened. So I remain isolated with my conceptual conundrum, which is okay with me, as it is something on which I can further meditate.
I would like to leave off here with this article at Space.com:
First Invisible Galaxy Discovered in Cosmology Breakthrough, which too me is worth more than "a picture's worth a thousand words", since no picture appears.
I sincerely hope we can discover a variable G in the future, because if we cannot, then God help us, for this universe, in the present form of our understanding, makes absolutely no sense. I see our present cosmology as pure fantasy.
In my vision of the universe, gravity is a variable determined by the G proportional where it is measured. That is not the same as to say that greater gravity is merely greater acceleration between masses, but it means that the actual mass itself has changed, per equivalence, and thus the resulting interactions of these masses is between the greater masses. Obviously, not one else thinks so, at least not at present.
No fault. My next project is to work out how much gravity we would need in the 99.99% of the space "vacuum" to account for redshift z = 1, but haven't worked it out yet. Thanks for your inputs, and to all who had their say, appreciate it.
