   Again? I've told you three times already. Mass attracts mass, we call   
   the effect gravity, and that is what keeps us on 'a ball'.

   Yes, and it's a big one.

   There is no 'universal up' on Earth. 'Local up' is a vector,   
   perpendicular to the tangential plane pointing away from the center of   
   the sphere.

   And far away from the surface. Gravity will work on two masses even if   
   they are 10 billion LY apart.

   haven't got it by now, Buddy Dickhead.
