why?
why not shun that belief and fly?
or embrace it and stand strong.

Gravity getting you down? (sorry, bad joke)
You know, there are the few who don't believe, yet strangely enough, they remain firmly grounded. I wish I could change what is with a mere thought....and be free.

I think you should shun it. Hop on a 16 story building and fly off the roof. Gravity is only a belief so just ignore that silly belief and start having some fun!! I'll be looking for you on the 6pm news.....
PS: There's a reason it's the LAW of gravity and is implicit in our every day life...well, except yours of course.....

Is there Gravity - yes, and its is a direct function of mass of an object... greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity it exerts on other objects around it; that's what keeps objects in the universe at certain distances from each other. Without gravity, the whole universe would implode. Stephen Hawkings writings on this subject are pretty interesting for soemone who is wondering why is there gravity, what is gravity, or should I believe in gravity!!

Gravity is not something I believe in, it is an indirect phenomena whose effects I can observe and measure. In much the same way, I would not say that color is something I "believe" in -- it is rather, a way I describe what I observe of the world.

You know its funny. From time to time, you hear someone critcize the theory of evolution as "only a theory". However, these people do not realize that gravity is only a theory as well. It is the theory of gravity.
