Of course we can perceive gravity like we can various realities.... just need to jump up from a height to feel it pulling us down.... but of course perception may be no guarantee of reality.

You can doubt gravity if you doubt reality. Gravity is a part of reality is it not? Where is the proof that what you feel touch smell and hear are real. The effects of gravity aren't necesarily real...maybe they are simply wishful projections of order developed by our minds existing in a realm of chaos in which gravity does not exist.

Well...
Sure, I've seen people floating in space, so there's obviously no gravity[1] in space (
Since gravity affects the things I can see, I can "prove" it exists, just like I can prove "wind" exists, by watching its effects on the trees and the hairs on my knees...and I think it's time I went and got some sleep...
Hope that helps...

Gravity is a flawed theory, disproved by floating on water. Since water has no stability everything should sink, right? The truth is mass sucks and because the world is a greater mass it sucks harder thru fluid.

We know gravity is there by its effect on objects. Scientific observation records gravity as a FORCE.

You can doubt, but the nowadays society's way of thinking and our rationality has accepted the existance of the gravity.
Additionaly, it seems to be the best way to explain why objects fall.
Simply if you wouldn't trust, you will be labelled as a fool.

you recognize it's existence through its perceived effects. just as in the case of air---we see the effects of breeze through the movement of leaves, for example. to doubt gravity is to court disaster, of course, as one steps off the precipice. ;-)

Gravity is not what you think it is.
