What you've said speaks volumes about what you know of physics (A lot, imho!) I am not a physicist but an Engineer. Why I have issues with the current view of gravity is that none of what we think we know about it, beyond the equations describing it, have helped us work with it in any practical way. We try to work against it by creating craft that work against it, despite of it. I can't help wondering why we've never seen more canny forms of propulsion or displacement, it feels a little like we are stuck in a closed loop of misconception, maybe because of the big bang theory, which to me looks dodgy whichever way we dig into it. Notice the effort spent on fudge factors looks similar to the effort that was spent on vaccines for covid, and now on carbon mitigation, this kind of effort becomes a business itself, which we are so loathe to end, we would rather perpetuate the problem by ensuring the longevities of the businesses appearing to be busy fixing the problems when actually they are attempts to perpetuate the problem, by focussing always on symptoms, rather than cures.
I have a feeling this is more or less what you are identifying as the things on each side of the equation, we consistently address the wrong side of pretty much all equations by looking only at how to mitigate symptoms rather than causes, driven always by profit.
Nobody seems to see the energy of the sun as the solution to anything, we see it as part of the problem, the thing causing the heating, when actually the problem is we are systematically destroying nature, and all of life, which otherwise reduces heating, by creating things from energy other than heat, the same things we convert back to heat to obtain the energy we need.
I hope Ai has arrived in time to save us from our ignorance in this :)
