Gravity proposes the pulling of a smaller mass towards a greater mass, this is observed on a daily basis by every human being on earth.-me-

Are you sure that gravity does not propose the pulling of a greater mass to a smaller mass?

Are you showing your ignorance again or your dishonesty?

Just answer the question. Does the theory of gravity propose the pulling of a greater mass to a smaller mass?

If you do not know the answer, just admit your ignorance.

Dear God, you really don't know anything about gravity, do you? The larger mass is not stationary; it is actually attracted to the lesser mass in the same way the lesser mass is attracted to the greater (yes, the Earth is attracted to you). The Moon doesn't orbit around the Earth -- both bodies orbit around a common center. This is what makes solving three+ body problems so difficult.

If you keep up in this vein, PH will have another trophy line to add to his placemarker (BTW, do you still think chimps have tails?).
