Well I guess that explains why "the normal force" is the one that counteracts gravity.

(for those of you who don't know, the super simplified explanation in physics 101 is that the normal force is the vector that pushes up while gravity pushes down for objects that are resting on top of each other)

So I guess the one who named it "the normal force" would be more correct that he ever imagined if your theory of gravity was the real correct one!
