the gentlest verb that built every door, baby, and breakthrough in human history

means To exert force against something to move it away from you, or to urge or pressure someone or something forward.

from From Old French 'pousser,' to thrust or shove, which traces back to Latin 'pulsare,' to beat or strike — the same drumbeat behind 'pulse' and 'impulse.' So every push carries a faint heartbeat in its bones: the steady throb of force applied again and again.
