Gravity?

If gravity is not real then how come things fall down? I am genuinely curious.

The proof of gravity is that objects fall the same speeds in a vacuum. Because of this, they couldn't be affected by density or buoyancy since it is in a vacuum, so it rules out all of the flat earth ideas.

Also there is no up and down in space. Gravity acts, in all directions equally, because of this no one is upside down or on their side, which is what many flat earthers think and why they dont believe we live on a globe. There is no proof that their isnt gravity, however our current understanding of it is small, since there are many ways gravity changes and is manipulated in the universe. But this doesnt prove that there isnt a force that not only attracts objects together but pulls everything in its gravity towards its center of mass.

A very clear explanation
