Laboratory experiments and observations of natural phenomena conducted in this research series indicates the presence of a thermally dependent component of gravitational interaction, influencing matter at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Presented herein are investigations of properties of gravitational interactions among gas molecules through a thermodynamic approach applying a two-molecule force model. Unlike conventional treatments that consider gravity as a single attractive force, the experimental interpretation in this work proposes that the net gravitational effect may arise from two components: a attractive force and a temperature-dependent repulsive force.By applying established thermodynamic data for gases, the model yielded results that: (1) support the existence of both attractive and repulsive gravitational components among gas molecules,(2) indicate both forces follow an inverse-cube dependence on the intermolecular distance, and(3) show the repulsive component varies linearly with absolute temperature, indicating a connection between thermal energy and fundamental force behavior. The magnitudes of the proposed gravitational repulsion and attraction components are calculated to be significantly larger than the classical gravitational force between molecules, suggesting that the observed weak gravitational interaction may be the small resultant of two much stronger opposing forces. This introduces the possibility that controlled manipulation of these force components could lead to new physical insights and technological applications.
