gravity - Do all atoms in the universe gravitate each other?


I understand that matter will gravitate toward matter. (ex: Earth gravitates a satellite toward it, and the satellite toward Earth.)

Take two atoms, the farthest apart in the universe. Do they gravitate toward each other, but at an infinitesimal rate? (And actual position displacement is likely in a different direction, due to stronger/closer forces)

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
