The idea that the fall of an apples can upscale to planetary orbital motion


It is fine saying that objects attract each other but Newton had to apply it
to astronomical methods and insights and that is where it disappears in a
cloud of slogan chanting, stock phrases, voodoo and bluffing.


The Apollo 11 spacecraft, during part of its flight, orbited the Earth, and
during another part of its flight, orbited the Moon.

The Moon orbits the Earth.

If what you're saying is that Isaac Newton's gravitation applies to artificial
objects like the Apollo 11 spacecraft, or communications satellites like Early
Bird or Telstar...

but *not* to the Moon,

you have to explain why both the Moon and a satellite do the same thing - orbit
the Earth - for completely different reasons.

There are *reasons* why people here are not open to the new ideas you're trying
to present.
