Preface

Seen from a sufficient perspective it is of course correct to claim that the acceleration due to gravity between two bodies  cancels out component wise . But it is incorrect to claim that gravity cancel out component wise.

When two bodies are approaching each other, between these, on the one hand, the force of acceleration due to gravity will decrease, but on the other hand the mass attraction will increase.

As long we do not know the cause of gravity, we should be more careful to claim what is "gravity" and what is "not".  Decreased acceleration due to gravity, does not in fact mean decreased force of gravity - but only that two gravitational fields are into a unification process  and that two connected gravity properties are changing. The acceleration due to gravity reflects how much space is contracted per distance, and mass attraction, how contracted space is between two bodies.

When two bodies move towards each other,  the gravity of the bodies are into a unification process. The contracted space each of these bodies possesses will unify.

Or in other words, the gravity potential each of these bodies possess will unify.

The process whereby this happens is that: common contracted space will increase between the bodies, the closer they approach each other, and at the same time the level difference (of contracted space per distance) will decrease, and hence the acceleration due to gravity will decrease.

This can be compared to two pressure tanks both with 10 kg. vacuum. In the middle is a transparent pipe and inside that a piston. The vacuum pressure inside the pipe is 5 kg..  The closer the two tanks approach each other, the more the vacuum pressure in the pipe increases, and thereby the slower the possible motion speed of the piston towards one of the tank becomes. In a figurative sense we only see the pistons motion (acc. due to gravity) and can measure its speed, but what really happens inside the tanks (field of gravity) and the pipes between the tanks we don't know.. .

We believe that because of acceleration due to gravity decreases between the bodies, that "gravity" cancels out component wise.  Already based on this expression, we are misguiding our own further possible understanding of what really happens and what gravity really is, and exactly here  the carriage begins to derail.

Gravity does not only have one property (only acceleration due to gravity) and does not "cancel itself out". What really happens is a unification process has taken place and that two connected gravity properties are changing.. Because we can't see the other property: "deformed space" (contracted space), it does not mean it doesn't exist. We know that between the bodies we also have 'mass attraction', - hence we should be much more carefully simplifying gravity in the way we have done.

As soon the unification process is completed, there is no longer any gravity opposition, and hence also no longer any central component equalizing of gravity.  We have simply drawn our conclusion too far, according to what really happens centrally in a field of gravity.

In the first phase of this process, the new occurring central contracted area (the common field), will have weaker gravity, than each of the 3 bodies.  When a body moves in this central area, it will also be (weakly) attracted from the central area, and this will slow down acceleration due to gravity.

Imagine a cluster of galaxies that totals 1000 galaxies. Now the situation above has changed completely, because the central area is now contracted much more strongly, whereby the common central field of gravity has become the strongest, and hence an object between the center and the galaxies will no longer  moves towards a galaxy but instead towards the common central field.

That's why we are misguiding ourselves in believing that gravity is "cancelling out" centrally. It is in fact really the opposite that happens, gravity centrally builds up, even though it seems that it is the opposite that is about to happen. In this process the acceleration due to gravity will just reflect how much space is contracted per distance, but also how strong the common center is. But gravity never cancels out anything. That is the wrong expression to use.

 Distance square and Proportionality

This illustration shows the distance square principle.

Each time the radius of a circle doubles, then the area will quadruple.

However the area of the outer circle is only 3 times that of the inner circle (75% larger).

This graph shows, that each time the square increases 75%,

then the acceleration of gravity decreases 75%

The above claim can of course also be shown in a 3 dimensional perspective.

Each time we divide a ball into inner and outer parts, (with same distance towards the common centre) the volume of the inner sphere has only 1/8th the volume of the outer sphere.

But the essence remains the same. The only difference is that both numerical values (from the square example) have doubled, and the proportionality is then 87.5%

The gravitational force within the inner sphere drives a stronger contraction of space that results directly in this increase in gravity. In other words; contracted space will take the 'easiest way' to pull space, which also means it pulls inwards resulting in an increase in the strength of the gravitational field.

We have perfect  proportionality between space and gravitational force.

This proportionality cannot simply be a coincidence, and is certainly central to our understanding.

 Central Gravity

The above illustration shows space inside Earth, it could also be a galaxy or a galaxy cluster.

Matter contracts Earth’s inner space from an inwards as well as an outwards direction.

It is natural to expect that only distance is decisive for how matter 'chooses' to pull space from an inner and an outer direction of a ball-shaped (homogeneous) mass. 

The consequence of such a "separation" conditioned on distance is that the substance of area (A) only pulls space from an outwards direction which means that this contraction of space affects the whole universe like a domino effect and forces the universe to decreasingly bend ('shrink').  So far, this conclusion is not inconsistent with prevailing theories.

However, matter that lies from the halfway (half radius) of Earth’s center and towards the center of Earth (area B) only pulls / contracts space from the inner central area (B) of Earth.

Towards the inward direction (in area B), space will also be affected and will therefore also contract like it does in the outward direction.

But space in the inward direction is gradually decreasing. Therefore, the result of the pull in space towards the inward direction will be gradually more strongly contracted, and hence also stronger acceleration due to gravity must occur in that area (B)

The illustration above illustrates a (homogeneous) gravitational field. It could be an ball galaxy, a galaxy cluster etc, but in this example, the Earth’s gravitational field is illustrated .

In area ’A’, gravity will act as we already know it. Gravity at a certain (outer) distance (from 5 – 10) is to be calculated based on the mass from the center and to an arbitrary measuring point.  

However, in area ’B’, we have misunderstood gravity’s central deformation of space. In this area, gravity (mass) will only contract space from a central direction. This means that the inner space will be trapped.

Therefore, the total mass in area ‘B’ should always be the basis of calculating the strength of gravity from any distance in the inner (red) area (from distance 5 and towards the center).

In both cases, the law of acceleration due to gravity is used.

Although acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s²  halfway towards Earth’s center, it still manifests that space all the way towards Earth’s center is being contracted. In the innermost part, space is being even further contracted as space in this inner room is ‘trapped’.

Imagine a inner central area of a galaxy divided into 3 successive areas.

• One area furthest out ‘A’

• One area further in ‘B’

• And one area even further in ‘C’

One could also consider these spheres to represent the inner central area of the  earth

The matter that is in area ‘A’  is contracting space here.
 
This means that the matter that lies deeper in the galaxy (area ‘B’) lies ‘behind’ the outer matter (area ‘A’) and thereby in space that is already somewhat contracted (by area ‘A’).
 
The matter that lies in area ‘B’ and even deeper (in area ‘C’) therefore lies in areas that are becoming more and more contracted as one moves inwards. Due to this additive force the contraction of space as one moves inwards will gradually get stronger. 

Although acceleration due to gravity is ’only’ 10 m/s² for the first well over 3,000 km towards Earth’s Center, it is important to notice that space all the way towards the center contracts even further.

  Motion of Matter in a Galaxy

Space in a galaxy is gradually contracted over an large distance (100,000 light years). Therefore, the central space in a galaxy’s inner room will contract to a large degree. So when we do not understand the motion of the stars in a galaxy, it is very much connected to the fact that we do not pay any regard whatsoever to the ‘consistency’ of space in this regard.

As all stars circulate around the center of the milky way, it is only natural that heavily contracted space is connected to the circulating mass and therefore will circulate itself.

Therefore, the decisive factor for the motion of the stars is not only how a galaxy’s acceleration due to gravity is at a certain point but also that space around a galaxy must circulate. Naturally, this will balance the speed of motion of the inner and the outer mass against each other. In the inner area speed will naturally decrease, and in the outer area speed will increase.

Quite naturally, contracted space is simply gradually increasing as we are getting closer to the inner part of any gravitational field. This is a decisive factor which has been ignored. We still have quite a few things to understand, but this theory will definitely help us get there.    

The chapter 'Space Wind' shows how the space wind around the Sun and the Earth affects the Moons and planets of the solar system. The less gravity binds a astronomical body, the easier it is for the space wind to affect and accelerate a such body.  Hence the space wind (even though it is a weak force) certainly also can explain why the outer (weak gravity rooted) stars of the periphery of a galaxy  move "so fast" and how they are held in orbit. These stars are simply "handed over" to the space wind. 

Of course, a galaxy and the rest of the universe do not contain (physical) dark matter either.

Above we saw how central space in a ball-shaped field of gravity is strongly contracted, causing an acceleration due to gravity which is stronger than previously thought.

This especially applies for ball-shaped bodies or extended masses where the mass completely encircles space, causing a stronger contraction of the central space.  

The planets of the solar system encircle a central area but to a much lesser degree than is the case for galaxies or clusters of galaxies. However, there is reason to believe that also the solar system contains an area in the middle of the planets with a mildly stronger gravity. This can probably explain Mercury’s strange orbit. If this is correct Mercury will have no gravity anomaly when all the planets of the solar system are in (or close to) conjunction.
