Why Two Bodies Attract Each Other: An Equilibrium-Seeking Explanation of Gravitation

This work presents a physical explanation of why two bodies attract each other based on the equilibrium-seeking behavior of physical systems. It is proposed that gravitational attraction arises because physical systems tend toward configurations with a common equilibrium center corresponding to minimum energy. Under central interactions matter naturally moves toward spherical equilibrium configurations. Gravitational attraction is interpreted as motion toward this equilibrium state. This work develops the equilibrium-seeking interpretation of gravitation first introduced in: Erkin Atojonov (2026)The Equilibrium-Seeking Law: Geometric Origin of Gravitation.Zenodo.https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18807421 The central idea of this work is that two bodies attract because the physical system tends toward a common equilibrium center. Mercury droplets provide a simple observable analogy of equilibrium-seeking behavior. When dispersed mercury is allowed to move, droplets merge and form a spherical shape, demonstrating motion toward equilibrium. This work proposes that gravitational attraction represents motion toward equilibrium and that spherical symmetry represents the final equilibrium configuration. This conceptual framework is presented as an original contribution by Erkin Atojonov.
