Gravity is the observable phenomenon of falling near the surface of the earth. It doesn't explain anything.
Gravitation attempts to explain gravity by positing that masses are attracted to one another.
This is, of course, absolute nonsense: the moon and Earth are observed to fall away from eachother at the rate of 3.8 cm per year.

Ah. So you're an intelligent faller?
Your proposal that it's nonsense is not right. Do some calculations concerning the speed at which the earth and moon rotate around their common centre of gravity and you'll see that they are indeed pulling apart.
It's not a problem at all Agonaces.
