Tests for maximum force and maximum power
Christoph Schiller
Abstract
Two ways to deduce the equivalence of the field equations of general relativity and the principle of maximum force ${c}^{4}/4G$, or the equivalent maximum power ${c}^{5}/4G$, are presented. A simple deduction of inverse square gravity directly from maximum force arises. Recent apparent counter arguments are refuted. New tests of the principle in astronomy, cosmology, electrodynamics, numerical gravitation, and quantum gravity are proposed.
