I know I know. The earth's gravity overrides the theorized attraction of these two items. Consider then, that the conditions were perfect. We set two small items- say, lead sinkers of relative, scale mass and distance of the earth and the moon, in deep space- hundreds of lightyears away from any gravitational interfearance. We then start these objects spinning in a perfect orbit. Do the objects continue to orbit each other? Or do they drift apart? If, by chance, the objects do not attract each other, how is it that atoms and molecules hold together in the same circumstances?
