Google “gravity push vs pull”. There is a strong case that gravity doesn’t actually pull. Rather, it is actually a “push” force.
And the fact that the argument can even be made shows how little we know about it.
Gravity operates as a repulsive force at a distance and attractive near it... How would this work...
The Rubber sheet model is WRONG.
Well or not precise..
Imagine the rubber sheet stretched over an above ground pool with NO air space between the sheet and the water and sealed perfectly along the edge...
The Drop a bowling ball in there to represent the sun... Marbles will continue to orbit around it... but look at the edge of the pool.... notice anything... it is is RAISED... ie REPLUSIVE at a distance!
Morons who think up the gravity as heavy ball on a rubber sheet forgot about the other side of deformation, the repulsive part..
“Push” implies repulsion versus attraction. If that’s what gravity did, we’d fly off the earth rather than stay on it, and meteors would not land on the planet.
“There is a strong case that gravity doesn’t actually pull. Rather, it is actually a “push” force.”
There’s no strong case, in fact quite the opposite, which is why physicists abandoned that idea at the turn of the last century.
Al Gore used to promote global warming by stating that 'just like gravity, global warming is settled science.'
Which is deeply embarrassing to climate scientists who promote AGW, and hillarious to real scientists.
ZPE push ... see Haisch, Rueda, Puthoff on the ZPF as origin of inertial mass and thus gravitational mass.

I believe that Mr. Einstein proved it was a push, no?
