ignoring the elephant in the room that the study of anyone other than white males is rare, people don't talk about the obvious. We don't write it down.

Gravity took FOREVER before someone went "wait why?" and there's tons of stuff we don't even think about, like the 'new shape' that people just didn't think to talk about because it's just so simple

That's not a simple shape. Why would people want to talk about it?

To be fair Plato said that earth and water elements want to go down in order to be near the other earth and water. That's his explanation for the phenomena of gravity. Newton's explanation is rather less intuitive and requires an understanding of orbital mechanics.

What is that? Does it have a name?

It looks like you could stack them in a strong way.

There's plenty of studies on white males.
