Using this yin and yang view of normal gravity means that inverse square gravity is the difference between two very much larger forces which, by making delta as small as we like, we can make the incoming and outgoing as large as we like. If as you say that the centrifugal force is many orders of magnitude greater then it would seem that this servo-mechanical view of gravity is just what is needed to counteract the inertial force. By the by I take the Flandern view of gravity as being something entirely different from EM and having >>FTL speed as befits a phenomena acting on a galactic scale. Frank POST SCRIPTUM: Out of sheer curiosity I looked up the origin of the yin and yang symbol. It is quite interesting. 8-) http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/yinyang.htm
