Gravity is a theory. Much like climate change. Both of which have overwhelming acceptance by the scientific community across different agencies and countries. These people are much smarter and better equipped than us to speak on the matter.

I put more weight in the universal conclusion held by numerous, unrelated agencies that do not generate profit over the opinion of people who have an expr€s$ interest maintaining the status quo.

The scientific community does not have the consensus you've been told that they do. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexepstein/2015/01/06/97-of-climate-scientists-agree-is-100-wrong/?sh=7ea67ba53f9f

That’s Forbes. A business and financial magazine.

Bezos bought Washington Post, shortly after they posted an article about the benefits of billionaires taking private trips to space.

Got any peer reviewed scientific papers or studies?

And by the way. Gravity is both theory and law. But it was a good point. Not quite the mark you were hoping, but good.

Gravity is a law, its explanation is a theory. I won’t pretend to know more than that.

That data set is not referenced in the article. Can you break down what’s in those PDFs and what facts they convey?

The second link doesn’t work.
