Edits on Gravitation
I have reverted your edits here. It is clear to me what the poster meant, and I believe his statement to be correct. Since I assume (hope) you are not misunderstanding the physics, I assume you misunderstood the poster. I tried to guess what this confusion might be and reworded accordingly.

If instead this was a disagreement of physics, please note your reasons on the article talk page. GrapeSmuckers 07:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Corrected the Gravitation page again
I removed the incorrectly phrased paragraph on acceleration addition for a second time. Gravitational acceleration is not additive, so the paragraph is incorrect. The only correct thing say is that :

-in the Earth frame, the probe mass is accelerated with a1=GM/r^2

-in the probe mass frame the Earth is accelerated with a2=Gm/r^2

There is no scientific justification for adding accelerations calculated in two DIFFERENT frames WWStone


 * As I mentioned above, the appropriate place to continue this discussion seems to be on the article talk page. I see you have responded there as well as two other places.  There is no need for that.  I will be continuing this discussion on the article's talk page, and if you reply here or elsewhere I will not be replying to your comment as I don't want this conversation threading all over the place.
