Tie a rock to a piece of string and start spinning it around your head. Now walk forward while continuing to spin the rock. Does your head collide with the rock?

Correction: Gravity is a push towards the displacement of energy as mass is being both propelled and compressed.

Flotation is a pull outwards of the displacement of liquid as mass is being both inflated and consumed.

In physics, mass (from Greek μᾶζα "barley cake, lump (of dough)") refers to the quantity of matter in an object.
Macroscopically, mass is associated with matter—although matter, unlike mass, is poorly defined in science.

So, Wikipedia defines mass in terms of matter but can't clearly define matter.
And it claims that mass is not poorly understood, even though it's defining mass in terms of a term it says is poorly understood. That's rather contradictory.
I say there is lots of room for alternative science.

So, you, who hold yourself out as an expert in physics and the defender of sanity, have nothing to say about whether gravity is a pull or a push and why, from your exceedingly superior , well-informed, perspective.
