Ok,since i have no idea about how this thing works in the technical sense,can you think about it as,

Gravity doesn't pull towards the center of mass but rather push away from the center of mass?
And tell me if it makes atleast a least tiny bit of sense?

Probably completely stupid as fuck but,when i think about it,i think that maybe that's why we have an atmosphere.
Maybe gravity is pushing away from the center of mass?

But according to that,probably every planet with a really high gravitational field should have an atmosphere,right? Oh i donno about that

Are you flying away from the ground at 10 km/s no? Then gravity is not pushing you away
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
