The Earth on the other side pulls permanently. In many different elementar ways it is possible to show that under such conditions the permanently acting force of gravitation would let the Moon approach the Earth in a quick spiral. As the computation concerning the Moon caused Newton to postulate a general law concerning the whole solar system and the whole Universe, it, the law of gravitation is wrong in all its applications. Velocities and masses computed with its help are probably wrong in many instances. There exist attraction and repulsion.
Electrical phenomena are responsible for attraction and for repulsion.
To explain the fact that objects close to the surface of the Earth are more attracted than repulsed, we owe to admit that a high layer in the atmosphere repulses whatthe solid portion of the Earth attracts. The phenomenon of the the tail of the comets repulsed from the sun, of polar light, of zodiacal light will find here their explanation. Also water, in small drops, is lifted then dropped by electrical charges and discharges. The radio-layer in the atmosphere is probably the attracting and repulsing medium acting contrary to the ground. The moving of negative electricity into the ground does is due to the charge of the Earth.
