First of all, I'm assuming that you've been through high school, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Let me ask you a few questions. Did you learn geometry by reading a few paragraphs somewhere? Did you learn algebra by reading a few paragraphs somewhere? Did you learn chemistry by reading a few paragraphs somewhere? Did you learn U.S. histry by reading a few paragraphs somewhere? Did you learn U.S. literature by reading a few paragraphs somewhere? Did you learn psychology by reading a few paragraphs somewhere?
If the answer is yes to any of these, you are way smarter than I am and therefore I will leave you on your journey.
If the answer is no to all of these, what on Earth makes you think you can learn physics, specifically gravity, by reading a few paragraphs here?
I hesitate to tell you anything about gravity on here because it's hard to go deep into mathematics of the theories on a forum and it's impossible to talk about gravity without mathematics. If I don't go deep into mathematics, you will undoubtedly nitpick at the layman's terms and then proclaim yourself to be the smartest person in the world for disproving the layman's terms of gravity.
In either case, you can't learn about gravity on an open forum like this. We could talk about specific aspects of gravity if you'd like. But I highly doubt anyone on here or anyone at all can dumb down and shrink probably several years of college courses into a few paragraphs to teach you gravity.
Again, if you want to talk about specific aspects of gravity, I'm all yours.

Owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have occasionally used the academic jargon generator to produce phrases that even I don't fully understand. The jargons are not meant to offend anyone or to insult anyone's intelligence!
