Awesome is right! I was and still am, a mediocre math student; but I love physics. Wish I would have paid more attention in school.

The closest explanation that I could comprehend in the simplest way, was “external force” on the “center of mass”

It is very puzzling. Gravity's force is supposed to be acting on everything with equal force. So why doesn't the bottom move?
