Remember all those classic books you HAD to read in school? They sucked, right? Well, guess what? They are actually . . . classics.

The galaxies are like different vortexes and the gravitational pull is caused by the pull of the vortex. The vortex spins faster in the center and slower on the top/outside. So that's why gravitational pull is different on other planets/moons Density dictates where you fall in the galaxy/vortex and there are many vortexes throughout the universe.

Watchin' an old fight film last night

The boy from Seoul was hangin' on good
But the poundin' took to him
