"That proves..." with your stretchy sheet. No, because you are using gravity. It proves if you make a sloped hole that things will fall into it in a gravitational field. Do that experiment in zero gravity and it does not work! There are other more sensible theories about gravity. Also your story about the solar system is missing a VITAL piece of the puzzle. It completely ignores British Astronomer Royal George Biddle Airy's experiment in 1871 to measure the motion of the Earth using stellar aberration and slowing down the incoming starlight through water, measuring how much further the Earth moves in the additional time the slower light is travelling. A French Astronomer previously did the same experiment using glass instead of water with the same result. You need to remove the base from your order which holds the Sun in place and attach it to the Earth instead. It's the exact same machine working in the exact same way, but see how it's all built around a fixed Earth!
