In normal matter, the nucleus is roughly one ten thousandth the diameter of the entire atom. Assuming a sphere, the entire repulsive volume of the atom is 500 billion times the volume of the nucleus. Without taking such numbers too seriously (accuracy), it is safe to say that the nucleus is completely exposed to the graviton flux from every direction. From a nucleus point of view, another nucleus is far away and has almost no shadowing effect upon the first nucleus in regard to the graviton flux (not in regard to Elysium). If a nucleus is larger, it simply has more targets for gravitons to hit. Therefore, in a vacuum, a feather and a ball of osmium metal will accelerate downward at the same rate. From the viewpoint of the gravitons, the feather and the osmium ball are almost completely empty. One can envision that it would take a "million miles or so" of normal matter to finally block all the gravitons coming from any particular direction. So, a planet or star would have to be monstrous in order for its matter in the center to be shielded from gravitons. As one adds matter to this sphere, its cross sectional area grows, which exposes the sphere to a larger cross sectional area of graviton flux.
We have the concept of:
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Or:
Momentum Change = Momentum Change
The momentum of the gravitational flux upon a sphere from one direction will be:
Cross Sectional area of the Sphere * Number of gravitons per Cross Sectional Area * Mass of a graviton * Average velocity of a graviton
The momentum of a sphere relative to that gravitational flux will be:
Volume of Sphere * Number of matter ingredients per unit volume (protons/neutrons) * Mass of a matter ingredient * Velocity of sphere in direct opposition to that gravitational flux
In contrast to normal matter, let's consider collapsed matter. What is meant by this is simply a continuous nucleus. The nucleus will not be a solid monolith. We have the axiom that entities are put together and are taken apart. For assembly or disassembly to occur, there has to be "elbow room". So, I will arbitrarily set the void fraction of a nucleus at 50%. A sphere of collapsed matter will be 50% solid and 50% voids. Elysium and gravitational flux will occupy the voids. A body made of this collapsed matter would have roughly 100 million time the "opacity" to a gravitational flux that normal matter has. So, miles of collapsed matter would block the graviton flux in contrast to millions of miles of normal matter.
This difference brings up an interesting issue. Once a collapsed body of matter is large enough to just begin to shield matter at its center from the gravitational flux, what happens if we add more matter? The gravitational flux that must be dealt with will increase by the square of the radius of the sphere. But the mass of the sphere will increase by the cube of the radius. In the equation:
Force = Mass * Acceleration
The left side, the gravitational force, will increase by R2, but the mass on the right side of the equation will increase by R3. Therefore, the acceleration of the collapsed body will be reduced. Such a body will be more resistant to gravitational gradients than a normal matter body will be. A collapsed matter body will better maintain its established orbit than a normal matter body would. So, it is possible that such a body could enter the solar system, cause major disruption of normal matter bodies but have little change in its own orbit.
None of this writing proves or demonstrates or even indicates that collapsed matter exists. But if it does.....
