Does anybody else not believe the theory of gravity?

Our measurement of time has been made up by humans, but that does not mean that time is not real. We also measure distance in human units, and it is very real. In fact, time and distance are both real and are intimately connected to each other. As far as gravity being the weight of an object pulling on the blanket of time and space, that is a rather insufficient analogy that is often used to try to describe complex physical models to those with no mathematics background. I am personally not too crazy about that particular analogy, but for a different reason than yours. It uses “weight” which of course depends on gravity, to explain gravity. And that is a circular argument that is not self supporting. Once you understand what Einstein really said, it is pretty tough to disagree with his conclusions. Gravity is a distortion (not a weight on a blanket) in Riemannian spacetime that causes objects to follow curved lines in 3 dimensional space with no force acting upon them. The curvature in
