For the gravitational field of an Invisible Gremlin with a single positive charge to be strong enough to attract another proton against the repulsive Coulomb force, it would need to have a mass in excess of 2 billion kg. Such a gremlin would have a Schwarzschild radius >= 3E-3 fm (hundreds of times smaller than a proton), exerting a pressure of 2 billion kgf / Pi*SR^2 = 1E41 psi on the containment. Perhaps needless to say, it's going to be impossible to hang on to one. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
