I find your theory attractive, but they only achieve relative control...

Newtonian gravity is obviously a conspiracy by the intellectual elite to maintain control over the masses. Not sure if this is intended to be sarcastic, but your “intellectual elite” better known as professional classes, aka priestly scribes, http://science1.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/knowledge-divides/ http://science1.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/knowledge-divides/ since the times of Egyptians, defined and built a cosmology for the rulers for whom they worked so that rulers could control their citizens. So, more than a conspiracy, cosmology is the fundamental method used by rulers to control their subjects. You can no doubt find examples of how cosmology has always been the projection of the social order into the cosmos and vice versa (e.g. old Egypt: cosmos as river; 20th century: cosmos as nuclear explosion.) Therefore, Newton’s forceful, atomic materialistic worldview with an all powerful sun “exalted on his throne” http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?1930PASP...42..164.&data_type=PDF_HIGH&whole_paper=YES&type=PRINTER&filetype=.pdf http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_quer... at the center controlling its subjects the planets with a god-given force may remind you the structure of the 18th century society ruled by all powerful kings; Newton’s “System of the World” was the world system these ruling classes wanted to impose on their citizens. I am sure you heard about the Sun-king. Whoever controls cosmology controls your mind; whoever controls cosmology, controls how you perceive nature... This is true today more than ever.
