Gravitational merger — the macro twin of D+D fusion. Two concentrations of
positive mass on the x-axis attract by self-gravity and merge into one — the same
Poisson-coupled continuum mechanics that fuses two deuterons by Coulomb, here at cosmic scale.
Δφ + Gρ = 0 | ρ_t + div m = 0 |
m_t + div(m v) + grad p − νΔv = ρ gradφ |
e_t + div(e v) + p div v − φ div m = 0; p = γe, v = m/|ρ|.
Same-sign masses attract (gravity); opposite signs would repel (dark energy).
