I’m not a physicist and it could be obviously wrong for some reason I’m missing
Good start. I know how tempting it is to talk about crackpot physical theories, believe you me I do, but you’ve gotta contain yourself. Seriously, you’re embarrassing me, and I’m not even you.
Since you failed #37, among others, I’ll help you out. Your theory predicts that what we call gravity depends not on mass but on something like solid angle, which is a measure of how big one object appears from another. If we’re talkin bout heaven here objects are spherical, so solid angle (and thus your theoretical force) depends only on the size of the object (radius) and distance. Guess what? It turns out that gravity actually depends on something called mass and energy. Newtonian gravity is linear in mass, but your theory is not (you can work out the relationship between proton count and surface area of a nucleus or something along those lines, tee hee). This linearity has been experimentally verified.
Anyway, does your theory have anything to say about this or this? Nope! It turns out gravity isn’t as simple as pushing and pulling. Time and energy and fahoosalah are involved too. You might know about these things if you take physics courses.
LessWrong is partly about learning how to be wrong. You’re wrong. LessWrong teaches to acknowledge when you don’t understand something, to listen to the knowledge of those who do, and to not post silly crackpot theories that don’t even. 0⁄10 will not think about again.

Excuse me, what won’t you think about again?
