Yes, but how do you know that gravity isn't the result of angels pushing things? Just because you have a mathematical explanation, that doesn't mean angels aren't involved.
Well, that opens up the possibility that even mathematics itself, seeing as it's a language used in describing orbital mechanics, somehow is able to account for angels ...
How would I even know the difference between lack of angels and angels in a mathematical explanation?
