The theory of gravity is very, very old, in fact Plato was discussing it. However, it was Newton who formulated the theory of universal gravity, that the same "force" that causes things to fall to the floor keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
It is more correct to say that Newton invented the theory of gravitation, than to say that he discovered the theory. Gravity exists in nature, but the theory of gravity does not exist in nature, it is a human invention. You can only discover something that already exists, and the theory of gravity didn't exist until Newton invented it.

Einstein's theory of gravitation, known as General Relativity, is more comprehensive and accurate than Newton's theory of gravitation. While Newton's theory describes gravity as a force acting at a distance, Einstein's theory explains gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. General Relativity has been able to make more precise predictions and has been confirmed by various experiments, showing its superiority over Newton's theory.

because no one believe him when he discover it
The attraction between masses.
Albert Einstein did not discover gravity; it was Sir Isaac Newton who formulated the law of universal gravitation. However, Einstein revolutionized our understanding of gravity with his theory of general relativity, which explains gravity as a curvature in spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy.
The General theory of relativity primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation
No, Galileo did not discover gravity. The concept of gravity was introduced by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century through his theory of universal gravitation. Galileo made significant contributions to the field of physics, particularly in the study of motion and mechanics.
