---Jump off a building and test this theory.
---The above suggestion is idiotic and close-minded. What would you suggest if you had to prove that there was oxygen in the atmosphere? To breathe through your nose/mouth to test this theory? Just because an object falls towards the Earth does not mean that it proves gravity. You can hold an experiment in outerspace, throw a tennis ball to what you perceive as 'downward' without the influence from any planets, solar systems, black holes, and even stars. Would you tell me then that the tennis ball is falling/floating towards something because of gravity? If you tell me that it's due to force, jumping off of a building also projects force. Sure, you may be looking at some traits of gravity, but it doesn't mean it absolutely exists if the same conditions were met in a different environment. Ultimately, scientists are still baffled at how gravity works. Mathematicians and physicists have created formulas that projects the behavior of gravity, but still have been reluctant to produce any physical evidence that gravity exists. It has ONLY been proven that things are AFFECTED by "this" in which we call "gravity." The problem with science is that it relies ONLY on physical evidence. Sure there are many things that cannot be explained and through many experiments they've come to conclude such things as laws while other subjects are merely labeled as impossible and "crazy," such that as the paranormal. That's why it's called the Law of Gravity due to some known traits and not the Theory of Gravity. I hate it when people suggest the obvious, of course you'll fall off the building and hit the floor, thus experiencing gravity. Did you also know that if you dive into the ocean without an oxygen tank that you can drown because you're experiencing the breathing in of water instead of oxygen? Stop it with the "I-Know-It-All" egocentric attitude. This person asked an honest question, and you needn't answer it with a condescending remark like "Jump into the flames to prove the theory of fire." As a conclusion, gravity has NOT been proven, in terms of science wanting to find PHYSICAL evidence of existence before it becomes "real." So in a sense, you can say "In the name of science, gravity is fake because it has no physical existence." When it comes to reincarnation, the scientists will wait for a day to see the elderly and the deceased from the Roman Empire to WWII run to pregnant women, enter her through the naval and manifest themselves in their new lives. What kind of common sense is that? There are some things that cannot be seen, cannot be proven (to an extent) and yet we understand that it is there.
--The above answer immediately labeled the first as idiotic and closed-minded. I'll label my precursor's answer as bloated and hostile. As far as I know it hasn't been proven in whatever "proper" way someone considers something proven, but I believe it has much more merit than the paranormal, reincarnation, or "God" for that matter. I also believe that we prove it on a daily basis. For me it is proven, and I say that in the same manner as when someone claims that God exists and that it is proven... if I must.
What else can I help you with?
What are the differences between Einstein's theory of gravity and Newton's theory of gravity?
Einstein's theory of gravity, known as general relativity, is a more comprehensive and accurate description of gravity compared to Newton's theory. While Newton's theory treats gravity as a force acting instantaneously between objects, Einstein's theory views gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This leads to predictions such as gravitational time dilation and the bending of light around massive objects, which are not accounted for in Newton's theory.
What is Einstein's theory of gravity called?
The theory that Einstein developed which pertains to gravity is called general relativity.
What theory did Einsteins theory of relativity replace?
Einstein's theory of relativity replaced the Newtonian theory of gravity proposed by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton's theory described gravity as a force acting at a distance, whereas Einstein's theory described gravity as a curvature in spacetime caused by mass and energy.
What theory says that gravity is caused by the exchange of particles between objects with mass?
The theory that proposes gravity is caused by the exchange of particles between objects with mass is called the graviton theory. In this theory, gravitons are the hypothetical force carriers responsible for transmitting the force of gravity.
Did Albert Einstein contribute gravity?
Albert Einstein developed the theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This theory revolutionized our understanding of gravity and remains one of the pillars of modern physics.
Did Einstein ever have a theory of gravity?
Yes, Einstein did produce a theory of gravity, and it is more accurate than Newton's theory of gravity.

What is Einstein's theory of gravity called?
The theory that Einstein developed which pertains to gravity is called general relativity.
What is theory behind gravity?
Gravity is not well understood. It is a property of matter.
Why is the theory of gravity so important?
The theory of gravity is important because humans need explanations to things they do not understand. The theory breaks a possibilty down to where it becomes understandable.
What theory did Einsteins theory of relativity replace?
Einstein's theory of relativity replaced the Newtonian theory of gravity proposed by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton's theory described gravity as a force acting at a distance, whereas Einstein's theory described gravity as a curvature in spacetime caused by mass and energy.
What is the relation between Relativity Gravity and the Planets?
Relativity is a theory of gravity, and gravity governs the motion of planets. This is your answer in a nutshell. If you want a detailed answer, then I suggest you start studying general theory.
What was the name of the scientist who created the theory about gravity?
Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist who formulated the theory of gravity. His work on gravity was published in his book "Principia Mathematica" in 1687.
Did the Catholic Church find the theory of gravity heresy?
The Church has always promoted science, I can find no evidence that they ever had a problem with the theory of gravity.
What was newtons most famous theory?
Gravity was Newton's most famous theory.
What theory says that gravity is caused by the exchange of particles between objects with mass?

How newton discovard the theory of gravity?
Yes.
