        Is gravity pulling down or pushing down? @geraldclark77

        Curiously enough, while Newton claimed to have derived Kepler's laws, to do so he had to ignore all gravitational attraction except between the Sun and the planets (and not, for example, between the planets themselves). Kepler's theory was, at best, an approximation of Newton's

        Indeed, the two theories were strictly incompatible. According to Kepler, all planets move in ellipses. According to Newton, in any situation outside of idealised 2 body systems, no planets truly do thanks to universal gravitational attraction.
