If someone turned off gravity right now, then all currently orbiting planets would just fly out at tangents.

Interesting point. In pre-Newtonian times people proved the truth of astrology by the same type of circular reasoning. The believers said that astrology is true because if it weren’t the astrological influx between humans and stars would not exist and human affairs would spin into chaos and human society would disintegrate. I don’t believe that the astrological occult influx exists so turning it off would have no effect on human society. Physical occult does not exist either so turning off the Newtonian occult force will have no effect on orbital motion of planets.

Same is true for the orbits of the artificial satellites. The satellites are put into orbit by NASA’s JPL. JPL uses their Orbit Determination Program to compute orbits. ODP has over one million lines of code. None of the Newtonian so-called laws exist in the ODP. To me, as a scientist, if a term does not enter the formulas then the phenomena described by the formula are independent of that term.

The argument that “Newtonian mechanics works, therefore, the occult force must exist” is not true. Occult does not exist. If so, is Newtonian mechanics wrong? No. And there is no paradox here.

Newtonian mechanics is the physicists’ name for Kepler’s rule. Physicists believe that conventional units and constants associated with Kepler’s rule were invented by Newton and describe the universe. In reality, Newton appended a temporary variable “Force” to two different parts of Kepler’s rule. This temporary variable must always be eliminated to recover Kepler’s rule. Therefore, the temporary variable “Force” does not enter formulas used to compute orbits. But physicists are bound by Newton’s authority so they choose to believe in the occult and save Newton’s authority rather than reject Newton’s authority and be scientists.

What is amazing is that three centuries after Newton physicists still believe in the Newtonian propaganda that rectilinear motion is the natural motion. It seems that physicists would believe any nonsense told to them as Newton’s laws. Newton invented this absurd notion to prove the existence of his force. Newton proved one of his lies with another one of his lies. He justified his definition of the occult force by defining natural motion to be straight line motion. No straight line motion was ever observed. The probability that Newton’s force would have turned all primordial straight line motion into orbits is nil. Newton’s disciples the physicists still believe blindly the Newtonian propaganda of dynamical orbits and even worse they enforce the Newtonian occult as the true nature.

Be assured that no planets will fly off at tangents if someone turned off the occult. The occult does not hold the planets because the occult does not exist.
