gravitational pull has no terminus. all mass in the universe is constantly pulling on every other mass. distance determines force, however at this moment you are being effected by a solar body billions of light years from you. it is trying to move you toward it. nearby masses overcome the pulling force so you do not ever consciously notice it (although I suspect that you ultimately
do and the brain processes it as "time").
astronomy (as a science) can help describe the deep-time fluctuation of the COUNTLESS gravitational fields around you; however, the computations required to obtain
flawless readings is currently beyond humans' capability.
astronomy as we know it these days is based more on Gypsy Fortunetelling and less on the actual astrophysics involved.
ultimately, ignoring it would be foolish while putting too much faith in it would be insane.
