Ah so by your logic the earth should not have a gravitational pull on the moon, because the sun 's gravity is so much stronger (even though we cant detect that, either).
And, physics is the study of the mechanisms of the physical world, not the study of hypothetical theories in outer space...
-and yes what I am saying is that GRAVITY is not at ALL as the equation that explains it.
Please show ONE example of gravity working as described in the equation (besides a continuous downwards pull), as the excuse you give( ie downwards gravity cancels out lateral gravity) is NOWHERE in the gravitational theory.. So really you are just making ideas up at this point.
The FACT is that gravity does NOT work as advertised in ANY context except... down. Proof otherwise? Why don't you have a seat and actually THINK about these things. Then read the equations, then compare. Then THINK! You can do it.
Can you understand any of this?
Lol, no that's not 'by my logic'. Not by a long shot. Not by a tiny bit.
YOu can't compare sun/earth/moon to 1gmarble/table/earth. YET YOU ARE and thinking that disproves gravity.
LOL. Really?
"as the excuse you give( ie downwards gravity cancels out lateral gravity) is NOWHERE in the gravitational theory.. "
I never said that, so....
"Please show ONE example of gravity working as described in the equation (besides a continuous downwards pull)"
Sun pulls on all planets (that is straight down). Planets pull on moons (straight down) WHILE said planets and moon get pulled towards their sun (also straight down, but obviously 'down' is all directions.
Easy peasy.
"The FACT is that gravity does NOT work as advertised in ANY context except....DOWN"
That's exactly how it's advertised, and it's true. Because 'DOWN' is relative to the attractive force.
IF a leaf did orbit a mountain, the leaf would be being pulled DOWN towards the mass of the mountain. Which would be lateral only in relation to the downward pull of the earth.
Because, again, 'down' is relative to what it's being pulled to.
