Good you summed it up:

<You seem to think that universal means unlimited.Perhaps that is where your problem lies in this area. >

That's exactly where THE problem lies...It means (to me) it would work everywhere on everything... it was named "Universal so perhaps confusing you, but the fact is it ISN"T universal anymore... and you even state "it appears to be"... so I don't really know the argument.

<The universal law of gravitation does not describe how paint dries, and it does not describe chaos theory. It does not even postulate a guess as to what gravity IS.>

It does so... in your own post... "A force".

<But the law of gravity appears to be universal and to describe how the universe attracts between all of her parts. "Every object in the Universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the two objects.">

In fact... Einstein "described" in a new way the "encompassed" Newton's:

""General relativity (GR) is the geometrical theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It unifies special relativity and Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation with the insight that gravitation is not viewed as being due to a force (in the traditional sense) but rather a manifestation of curved space and time, this curvature being produced by the mass-energy content of the spacetime.""
