We know that gravitational froce causes the acceleration on bodies. Why it can't be in the other way? The acceleration of bodies towards the center of celestial bodies which are revolving around its own axis is causing the gravitational effect. Discuss it and revolutionize the Physics.

It’s Gravity due to acceleration.

All physical principals are universal. If you can apply a principle in the atomic level then it is applicable to the heavenly bodies as well and vice versa. You know that force produces motion and only with motion force is produced. So they coexist in the universe. There can be no force with out motion.

You can see that all gravitating bodies will be rotating about an axis or point. It’s not the size but the speed determines the pulling force towards the center. Wherever be such whirlpools are there in the universe, there is a force

Sounds like a clip from saturday nite live "talk amongst yourselves".

This is Physics 101 stuff. Again, someone with elementary physics knowlege can trivially invalidate your hypothesis.

You are asserting a 1:1 relationship between acceleration and gravity.

Gravity is a bending of spacetime. Einsteins mass dialation exactly describes the phenomena and it is most definately not linear. The barely detectable stuff doesnt start to happen until the kinetic energy is above the rest mass.

The solid, empirically validated idea, was well developed a hundred years ago.

Patting yourself on the back for a 100 year old idea isnt very mature. It says "Im all about patting me on the back" but what it doesnt say is "Im all about understanding how things work".

If your in it for the ego, you are in the wrong field. In Physics fame and fortune come for serious excellence and years of hard work. 99% of all discoveries in science are founded on solid understanding of basic concepts, and on solid fluency in higher mathematics. The remaining 1% are suggested by someone who doesnt know anything, and then refined, articulated, and implemented based on solid understanding of basic concepts, and solid fluency in higher mathematics. By higher mathematics Im suggesting Ordinary and Partial differential equations, and Tensor Calculus for starters. Real understanding starts around Ordinary Differential Equations, but most of that was developed 2 or 3 centuries ago which means 2 or 3 centuries of people like yourself, people not as bright as you, and people much brighter than you have tried to make as many breakthroughs as possible using those tools.

If you are serious about the field, get seriously rigorous about how you manipulate your ideas with math, and get seriously rigorous about the meaning of what your ideas really are.

The first one is correct as I see it. "Acceleration due to gravity" is short for reasoning out that gravity causes an object to accelerate. Gravity is a force; net forces cause objects to accelerate. Remember this.

"Gravity due to Acceleration" is different in that one means (by saying this) that the force of gravity is a direct result from the acceleration of an object. This can't be so; an acceleration does not cause a force. Forces cause acceleration. All accelerated objects are in their state of acceleration because of a net force which was exerted on the object at the instant before it began accelerating.

In your example, a "gravitational effect" is not created. The effect was there to begin with, which is why the celestial object is in its state of acceleration. The gravity was there before the acceleration. The force of gravity causes that acceleration of bodies towards the center of other celestial bodies that revolve about the one yielding the greater gravitational force.

Well, motion is in itself relative, so it does't matter which body is moving towards the other. Actually I heard that even Einstein thought of gravitation as a kind of acceleration. Its very difficult for me to explain it, but I had heard it on Discovery channel.
Now, you may know that every body under(or over for that sake) sky exerts gravitational forces on the other masses however small the objects be! This means that I have my gravity working on you at the moment; ha ha, but because we are small, so our masses are also relatively less, hence the magnitude is lesser than that of the celestial bodies. The celestial bodies and the smaller objects, both exert gravity as according to their masses, but as the celestial body is tremendously big, the change in its position is rare and very less, instead the object changes its position.

It is always 'Acceleration due to Gravity'.

The other are call centrifugal force and centripetal force they balance each other.

Experiment.

Take a string, slightly cut the string but do not separate.

Tie a piece of a rock at the end of the string.

Go to an open field, no one but you there. Ware an eye protection. Spin the rock in a circle over your head or on your side. The rock will go round and round. The string has centripetal and centrifugal force. When string breaks (you had cut the string sooner or later it must break), rock will fly away, the carrying force is the centrifugal. As long as string did not break both forces were balanced. They were equal and opposite.

The change in velocity or direction of ANY body is a reaction to a force applied to that body.
If the force stays constant for a while, then the body will accelerate in the direction of the force.
If there are more than one force acting on the body, then it is the "resulting" force that is to be taken in consideration to find out how the body will change its velocity and direction.
Gravity IS a force. It is an attractive force between bodies, and equals to k * M1 * M2 / d^2, where k is a constant, M1 and M2 are the masses of the two bodies, and d the distance between their center of gravity.
Whether bodies are in movement (circular or not) or not, the attraction force exists.
The fact that a body moves DOES NOT causes the gravitational force to exist!

Acceleration due to Gravity = mass of the object X gravitational force

Because a body at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an external force. If you wanted to flip the cause and effect relationship of gravity and acceleration, you would need an additional theory as to how the acceleration came into being.

The force arising from acceleration is indistinguishable from gravity, according to Einstein. But in the context of your question, gravitational attraction is obviously not caused by the rotation of planets because that would be a force directed OUTWARDS, that is straight up in the air. In fact we feel that force all the time, but it's completely overwhelmed in comparison to gravity.

because...it is not the rotatory motion of the body that is producing the gravitational force and it is the other way round...
Consider an object rotating around a standard axis....it definately needs some energy to do that...if u consider that gravity is not the basic force but a produced force..then there must b an external force that is enabling the revelution of the planet which is not true....
secondly,let us define gravitation..if it the accelaration that is producing the force at the centre...than there must b motion in the object despite of any presence of mass at the centre...
that means the earth should keep itself rotating around the given axis....even thought there is no sun ..!!!!!!

Acceleration due ro gravity is correct. Gravity as understood normally is force where a mass tries to pull other towards its center.
Gravity due to acceleration is incorrect. acceleration is rate of change of velocity. Gravity occurs where in a spinning object the centripetal force is greater than centrifugal force and is function of mass & spin velocity or angular velocity
