From the perspective of each spinning m-g-r, the other is swinging around it.



For example, when I spin around 1 time relative to the ground, what happens to a tree relative to me? The tree swings around me with 1 side always facing me. By your explanation, the tree must have spun around 1 time in order to do that. The same can be said for any object out in the universe, stars, planets, etc.
Total nonsense. In your "example", both the m-g-r and the tree would rise and set in exactly the same position, with the exact same face showing, and at the same time every revolution, something the moon clearly doesn't do.
