Hi Alex,

I am not trying to stir things up but I really dont understand your push gravity concept.

When I drop a rock it falls down. What is it that is pushing it? The further I get away from the Earth this 'Push' force diminishes, the closer i get the stronger it gets.

Pushing implies a force from outside acting the opposite way to what we conventially think of as the 'pull' force of gravity. Why postulate another force outside of the gravitational field generated by the Earth?

Or are you saying that the Earth is pushing the rock down or that there are two types of gravity, those readily observable on the macro human scale 'pull' the rock down and those trying to be explained on the cosmological non human scale.
