No.
"In 1915 Einstein announced his general theory of relativity replacing Newtonian gravity with curved space. Einstein proposed that mass deforms space so that the shortest distance between two locations would be curved by the attraction of a mass near the pathway."

yes, scientists have found little particles found gravitons, that attract us to the earth. That is pretty solid evidence to believe in gravity. Your doubt is viable, however, because gravity went unproven for a long time.

'hypotheses non fingo' as newton himself said.
It is autumn,1666 the year of the plague in London..Newton is at the Woolsthorpe manor..
An apple falls, he looks up and sees the gibbous moon in the early evening sky...could not the apple and the moon both be falling and subject to the same attractive force?..and would not their accelerations vary as the distance between them and the centre of the earth? Having decided to try conclusions, he found that the law of inverse squares fitted very satifactorily..

gravity is what makes things fall right. wrong. try standing on the edge of a cliff and then throw a stone straight out as far as you can. it will land closer to the bottom of the cliff than you threw it. gravity.Nah. Attraction yes,

Yes, it's the LAW (Law of Gravity that is).

Gravitational forces are accountable for the structures of the universe,i.e. galaxies, stars + planets.

You'll find that we do because we are pretty much down to Earth sort of guys.
