"and you even state "it appears to be so"" I say that out of an abundance of caution. I am well aware that future research might show that there are celestial bodies or dimensions where gravity does not apply or is haphazard. ""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."" None of that is incompatible with what I have said. All the references we've looked at admit that General Relativity augments the Universal Law of Gravitation. It does not vitiate it. It simply refines the definition of the UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION. It does not change the application. We still use it to land on the moon or to send a craft to Triton.
