Small Gravity Large Gravity

It has long been postulated that gravity holds for small masses as it does for large masses.

If two small helium atoms met in the vacuum of space their outer shell would repel exposing their inner nucleus which would also repel. What wouldn't repel is the whole structure which would have a net attraction.

Now if three small atoms met in a vacuum their outer shells would experience a definite repulsion. Electrons which travel at a fraction of the speed of light would quickly move out of the way exposing a line on the nucleus. This balance may precipitate a momentary exchange of electrons even if a proper chemical bond is not formed.

When many atoms and larger molecules get together in a bunch the middle molecules will have a net crowd of electrons which will experience a natural repulsion. The electrons will move towards the outside of the total mass but the nuclei will pull back. This total gravitational attraction is hard to ignore.
