I would say Newton was retarded for thinking his theory of gravity explains the cosmos, but he never made that retarded claim about his work. So it would be pretty retarded to claim that he did.

He didn’t see the mechanism that would connect two astronomical bodies, like the Moon and the Sun.

He even wrote to a colleague, telling him that any competent thinker shouldn’t believe his theory.

I'm not the one claiming his theory explains the cosmos.

Upvoated, but still pondering gravity....

Out of context bullshit. He thought gravity should have an agent:

"Gravity must be caused by an agent {acting} <7v> consta{ntl}y according to certain laws, but whether this agent be material or immaterial is a question I have left to the consideration of my readers."

This post didn't mention the earth at all.

Gravity has never been proven to exist.
Electromagnetism rules the universe

Correct. That's all I'm looking for. You don't have to believe the earth is flat to acknowledge that Einstein was a grifter jew and relativity is garbage.
