Gravity is one of those amazing realities that kinda defies logic. If I have an ant walking on a ball, and spin it, the ant goes flying!

Yet here we are, ants walking on a giant ball spinning in space, not being flung into oblivion.
Gravity exists because all objects attract one another ever so slightly. We don’t feel this between people, but when things get massive, like planets, the gravitational force becomes useful!
The mass of the Earth holds us to the ground, the mass of the sun holds earth in orbit!
Like a bowling ball on a mattress; the ball bends the fabric of space drawing things to it. The bigger the thing, the more the attraction.
Does this mean the biggest thing in all the universe is inexorably drawing us all to Himself? You’d have to think so.
