It does. In fact, both orbit the common center of mass of the pair. Do
you know where that center is?
Are you not aware that extrasolar planets have been deduced *precisely*
because of the orbit of the star around the common center of mass
shared by the planet?

Sure it is. This is a false, erroneous statement. You are simply
unaware of how to satisfy those concurrent demands.

Imprecise claptrap with no predictive power whatsoever. Can you
*predict* the "erroneous movements" arising from the "contradictory
demands" that are "impossible to fully meet"? If you have a theory that
explains something, then it should be able to predict that occurence at
least as well as the preceding theory does.

And so, when I'm on the beach immediately between high and low tide,
I've got no force of gravity acting on me at all?
