wow, something in the sky, that must mean the earth is round and gravity is real. honestly, think.
What is that obviously man-made object lying just outside the atmosphere? It sure looks like those "CGI" photos of the ISS! Gravity must be real, as it is moving around the earth with no obvious propulsion. It must be in orbit, then, proving gravity exists. The ISS is curving ever so slightly downwards, which appears amplified than it would be from on the surface due to it's height.
you know that pretending it's outside the atmosphere doesn't mean it is, right?
there are many possibilities. it could be a helicopter, a styled plane: humans are capable of flight. i favor the idea that it is a balloon, and the iss we see is the design of the top, a fiction made to give gullible people like you something to gesture at and refuse to think for yourself. balloons, with supply trips up, can go indefinitely.
the universe is being accelerated upwards by aether, this is the effect you refer to. it is not gravity. what makes mass so magic that is just sucks things closer? the scientific theory is some bs about bending space time and matter going down the bends, and that is total nonsense unless gravity already exists. there is no coherency to the fiction of gravity.
i notice also that you have given up on the topic of this thread. are you evading, or do you admit you were wrong?

In your remarks you sound like someone who has never seen the ISS move across the sky, never seen a balloon in flight, or both. The simple fact that the ISS is visible for hundreds of miles on either side of its predicted ground track, and always at the predicted angles, is evidence of its altitude, which is hundreds of km higher than the part of the atmosphere reachable by aircraft and balloons. How far away are objects flying (or floating) in the atmosphere visible? How fast (or slow, in the case of balloons) do they appear to move?
No one yet knows
why mass attracts mass (or, if you prefer,
why mass causes spacetime to be distorted, which is simply another way to look at the same effect). The fact that mass does attract mass and the properties of the resulting force, however, are well demonstrated, well understood, and coherently explained. After all, you don't need to know
why the Sun emits so much energy to recognize that it
does, and with some experiments, measure how much. On the other hand, no one knows anything of the nature of your postulated aether, and experiments to detect it have consistently failed. I'll take the well characterized force, even if not
completely understood, to the one that's backed
only by arm waving. Your beliefs mean nothing unless you can back them up with meaningful data.
