Why do 2 objects tend to attract each other? We have no idea. Maybe
they love each other.

Intelligent Pushing.
Duh

<sigh> Gravity is simple. Things move as they always moved unless a
force is applied. How they always move without a force is to accelerate
toward mass, at a rate proportional to the mass and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance.

Of course, it's really just the three dimensional /illusion/ of
acceleration in a four dimensional (or greater) universe. They're not
really accelerating, it just looks that way when measured in three
dimensions. There is no attraction, as such.
