I've always wondered what the significance of gravity is to extremely small objects. What kind of gravitational force does a proton feel from a neutron or another proton? I thought that since very small distances between two protons' centers of gravity are so small that maybe gravity plays a pretty huge role in the nucleus. Even though the masses of two protons are so extremely small, their distances between one another are so extremely tiny, and since distance is inversely proportional to the force of gravitational attraction, gravity might just hold two protons together. Using this formula I disproved my theories, coming up with a tiny gravitational attraction. Has anyone ever dabbled in this sort of gravitational attration on a small scale that can give me some help in coming up with a different answer. I was hoping for an answer that would prove gravity to be stronger than the nuclear forces trying to pull protons apart.

Suppose Bob and John are in a box that is moving through space at the speed of light. Bob is at the front of the box, and John is at the back of the box. To them it feels as though they are not moving at all, but would Bob be able to see John who is at the back of the box since they are moving at the speed of light?

A proposal to travel at the speed of light: Travel as Light. By having a machine scan a human and send his information via a computer encoded ensamble of photons, a human can send not only what he looks like, but his genetic makeup, every cell in his body, and every last bit of what he is in a strand of photons that are ordered in such a way that a computer can recieve them far away. The computer would decode this strand of light and with another machine far away, reassemble the human at the new location (the person that opted to be transported via beams of photons would be discarded of to preserve the theme of someone traveling and not just duplicating himself). The machine would have to be very precise and able to scan every last detail about a person. The person would have therefore (seemed to have) traveled at the speed of light, but actually his information was transported at the speed of light. This could possibly be the fastest mode of transportation that we have in the future.
