Would Newton law of gravity be the same between two neutrons at smaller distance?

Imagine 2 neutrons placed at some distance apart, they should only gravitationally attract each other according to Newton law of gravity. Theoretically the law should work at smaller distance until Pauli exclusion principle set in, how about experimentally?

    The notion that two neutrons experience no force other than gravity is wrong. For example, the neutron has a magnetic dipole moment and there is a force between two magnetic dipoles.

    Are you talking about distances greater than the range of the strong force? Less than the range of the strong force? Theoretically the law should work at smaller distance until Pauli exclusion principle set in The exclusion principle doesn't have a range.

Neutrons have a magnetic moment on the order of $mu=ehbar/m$ and therefore experience an electromagnetic force of order $mu_0 mu^2/r^4$ or $mu_0 e^2 hbar^2/m^2 r^4$. Their gravitational force is of course $Gm^2/r^2$. The electromagnetic force dominates over the gravitational force when $r<mu_0^{1/2}ehbar/G^{1/2}m^2approx5000$ meters.

    A fast answer: experimentally not feasible. Even n-n scattering itself is a huge problem: http://www.sbfisica.org.br/bjp/files/v35_850.pdf



    The earlier answer about electromagnetic interaction seems reasonable (I upvoted), but still we miss the nuclear force part (what happens if EM force is switched off).



    I think there is an important untold assumption of $r rightarrow 0$ in the question, which would push the gravitational force to infinity.



    If we assume two massive points on a typical nuclear distance : the order of $Gm^2/r^2$ is $10^{-11}10^{-27{^2}}/10^{-15^{2}} sim 10^{-35}$ and when we try to speak about energy, we can arrive to the order of $10^{-50}$, which is to me like $10^{-31}$ eV. Experimentally no way today.



    Once we look at what is happening when two neutrons approach each other, we need a quantum mechanics. We use the scattering theory, where the system may be described as a sum of an incoming plane wave and a scattered outgoing wave (to all directions). This system is a version of nucleon-nucleon system and the energies here (e.g.bound state of proton-neutron) are typically in the order of $10^6$ eV.



    While two neutrons can interact in $S=0$ (mutual opposite spin positions) state, but they do not interact in $S=1$ (spins aligned) state, because it is excluded by the Pauli principle. And here - that are my feelings - we get to the last stage of the problem - quantum gravity. Does the gravitation work by exchanging a graviton between particles? Or what is the gravitational field of the particle described by a wave function? Does the gravity follow the Pauli principle as the other forces do? I dont know.

                      1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
