| in addition to post #21 I don’t try to prove anything, but I think that considering the gravity as the force of attraction was accepted by scientists for explanation of planets’ revolving on their own axis. We all know that revolving body casts away things placed on its surface because of angular momentum, but the Earth (as all planets) revolves on its axis and at the same time things placed on its surface aren’t cast away, but are falling down to the center of the Earth (as well as things, risen from its surface), so logically the force of attraction must exist between the Earth and things risen from its surface. How otherwise could have been explained phenomenon if not by existing attraction?
I myself believe that not attraction, but striving, or rather pressing, or consolidation of matter happens to the center of planet, and the mechanism of such concentration of matter is contained in its opposite process of expansion, which spreads from the center of the planet radially up to some distance, and mentioned processes of consolidation and rarefaction are parallel opposite processes, taking place simultaneously.
