While charge is observable, science has no credible theory as to what creates this charge, or how it works, same as gravity.

Any measure of electron mass by measuring charge assumes that all electrons are in a position to emit a charge/force that we know as charge, that we can detect. I think this is an unrealistic assumption.

If an electron is a curved hair like particle with elasticity, then that curved elasticity explains what a charge is. A conductive material has long tangled threads of electrons that traverse throughout the material, and even extending out beyond the surface of this material, as we know it. When a material lacking in electrons comes into contact with a conducting material with an excess of electrons, the barbed protons grab onto the electrons, and set these tangles electron threads into motion. This all happens due to the natural frequency all bodies vibrate at.

Back to the subject of the thread, if gravity does not repel, what is changing this near-Earth orbiting rock to change direction.

I think the whole force theory sounds more third grade-ish than my theory. My theory evolved from observing how things are held together, and the patterns of woven strands and grains that I have observed are virtually everywhere. My advantage is that my concepts have evolved outside of mainstream academics. It is a completely different perspective, and at this point in time, a fresh perspective is something that science and mathematics desperately needs.

How is it that the force of an electron can not be detected?

Well, in the comic book world of force, force is everywhere, always emitting out into the world, cue soundtrack.

In my more down to physical reality version, force is a result of the natural curve of matter, and when nothing is pressing against this natural curve, it is not creating any measurable force.

On the contrary, in this case, it means the asteroid slingshots around and, through the added gravitational influence of the Sun, gets turned around and heads back in the opposite direction.

How about this, Earth's gravity is a result of a tangled web of matter extending out into space, which creates the force we know as gravity, combined with Earths rotation and orbit through space. The Earth's orbit corresponds to natural breaks in the Suns gravity field, as does the orbits of all the planets, which explains the solar systems symmetry. This asteroid spirals around this break point, and when it encounters Earths rotating gravitational field and or magnetic field, it bumps the asteroid, causing the tiny body to reverse the direction of its spiral.

In physics, force is the quantized exchange of momentum.

That is a nice way of putting it. Is that you phrasing, or did you get it from someone else?

... chances are I wouldn't get any review. Ours is a screwed up world where all ideas that don't conform to current institutional desires are suppressed, and honestly, the people who have gained control of technology, demonstrate over and over again that they have no sense of morality, and the last thing they need is more tech to give them more power. We need major cultural changes before we make any more tech advances.

My theory is that the exchange of momentum is cause by the natural curved shape of matter, starting with the smallest particles. It is a very practical theory. Maybe someday I will try to publish a paper, but chances are I wouldn't get any review. ... But maybe you could offer your opinion about my theory. What holes do you see.

Anyway, specifically

the asteroid slingshots around and, through the added gravitational influence of the Sun, gets turned around

What does the asteroid slingshot around? All indications are that it is circling around the Earth's orbital path, which shouldn't have gravitational pull to keep the asteroids momentum spinning in this manner. Unless, there is something to the Earth's orbital path, such as some structure of space that causes this strange orbit of this asteroid, and possibly the reason why the Earth orbits where it does, and the other planets as well.

How does the Sun's gravitational influence turn around this asteroid? The Lagrange point would actually weaken the Suns gravitational influence, which seems hardly a recipe for reversing direction.

I think my concept is well established by the classic double slit experiment. I will offer an explanation later. No time now. Ran out of time looking for a good link discussing the experiment.

It is my opinion, that if someone can not explain their logic and reason, they don't understand what is going on, and that is what I see in what I have read about these near-Earth orbits.
