"Give me an equation for the Theory of Gravity (hint for the stupid: that's not the Law of Gravity)."

Mass of object x acceleration due to gravity = Force of Gravity

You must have missed the hint. Try again.

That is the equation for Newton's second law of motion (as applied to a gravitational force). The LAW of gravity is F=G*(mM/r^2), where F is the force, G is the universal gravitational constant, m and M are the masses of two bodies and r is the separation distance. Neither of these is a THEORY of gravity. To have a theory of gravity you must explain WHY the gravitational force exists and why it has the value it has.
