Here are some for my notes on Gravity
??? What Is Gravity ???
- Does Gravity Push, or does Gravity Pull ?
- Newton and Einstein didn't Know !
- They Spoke Out, and Told Us So !
- So does Gravity Push, or does Gravity Pull ?
... Newton openly stated that he had no idea what gravity actually was. All he knew was that it had to be caused by something.
The idea that a body may act on another through the vacuum of space over huge distances "without the mediation of anything else ... is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man can ever fall into it Gravity must be caused ... but whether this agent be material or immaterial I have left to the consideration of my reader."
Consider ...
Which Things Push,
and Which Things Pull,
in our Universe.
We know, objects near the earth Experience an Accelerating Force.
The force averages 32 feet per second, per second.
If an analogy works, Use it !
But, when your analogy no longer explains good, repeated observations, it is time to move along.
If a dynamic ether could be shown, could it be the causal force of gravity ?

- An Attractive Force! — Who did the experiment that "Proves This"!!!
- Weightlessness! — If the Space Shuttle Lost Its Weight, it wouldn't stay in orbit ! ===> No Weight; No Inertia ! ===> No Forward Momentum ! ===> Fall Down, Go Boom !!!
- Zero Gravity / Micro-Gravity — Gravity is ALWAYS THERE !!!
Just because You Think You Don't Feel It, doesn't mean its not there !!!
The Space Shuttle Stays in Orbit because ...
It is in a Balanced State of "Free Fall".
For every foot it falls toward the earth because of the accelerating force of gravity, Inertia, moving in a straight line, moves the Space Shuttle one foot further away from the earth. That is why it needs to be moving so fast to stay in orbit. And, the faster it travels, the higher the orbit needs to be inorder to maintain stability. {Do The Math — Know the Science }
