see my post "Why does Gravity occur? and let's start putting your thinking together with mine. They should fit very nicely.

Gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass. It is responsible for the motion of planets around the sun, as well as the motion of objects towards the Earth.
Gravity works by pulling objects towards each other. The strength of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The larger the mass and the closer the distance, the stronger the force of gravity.
Sir Isaac Newton is credited with discovering the laws of gravity in the late 17th century. However, the concept of gravity has been observed and pondered by ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Egyptians.
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is not just a force between objects, but also a curvature of space-time. The presence of massive objects causes a distortion in space-time, which we perceive as the force of gravity.
Currently, there is no known way to manipulate or control the force of gravity. However, scientists are constantly researching and experimenting with new technologies that may one day allow us to harness the power of gravity.
