No silly, gravity is caused by the fundamental fear of loneliness so pervasive and unrelenting in the universe that it causes the formation of stars and planets.

This is no joke, pretty much most mystical religion’s cosmology.

Like Kabbalah, Advaita Vedanta, Sufism etc.

Not the gravity part, but basically that the first thought, after being came into existence, was longing for another, to be united.

The first existence is in itself a separation from chaos, so its nature is “will”, wanting to fill a void.
