Since Newton's findings, we have known that the acceleration of gravity can be neutralized when the direction of the forces act in opposition to each other.

However, we forget that gravity is more than just attraction between one or more objects. We need to understand what is actually happening with space when two or more objects approach each other.

It is right that two objects approaching each other will neutralize each other’s attraction to an object between them. However, while this is happening, the "density" of space between the two objects will decrease (be "thinner").

So long as we do not understand the cause or connection between these two properties, it's easy to follow incorrect paths of reasoning.

The new theory is clear and simple:

• When two objects approach each other the space between these objects is increasingly consumed and hence the density decreases. .

• The cause of acceleration due to gravity (ADG) is the relative change in "density" of space per unit distance.

When two objects approach each other they affect two gravitational properties in a known way. Between the bodies the ADG will decrease but the force of attraction will increase.

If a body is situated precisely at the blue X (above), the difference in level of "density" of space will be equalized in exactly that spot. (superposition)
Therefore, this body will not move. However, this does not mean that deformed space has disappeared on this spot, it only means that the difference in level per distance has changed, meaning that there is no movement exactly at the point of the blue X.

Two (inseparable) qualities of gravity have changed and will continue to do so as long as two objects approach each other.

Four bodies close to each other will involve an even more deformed space between them.

The next chapter will show that a globular gravitational field will continue this process which will further strengthen the deformed central space.
