Remarkable, professor. I reach my conclusion that gravitationally
attractive force over a circular disk of uniform density is not a
function of radius through tedious calculation and you reach your
miscellaneous conclusion apropos of nothing in particular through what
exactly, the trivium of truth and tedium of divine inspiration?

And which of my equations is faulty pray tell?
