An individual who screws up the term, "Theory"... / "Proof"?

I doubt that. Even my physics prof told me to accept the gravity since there is no explanation how gravity is generated when a huge mass is present. He told us whoever finds a satisfying theory can directly fly to Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize.

The attraction properties of the chemical aspect of all elements causes a buildup when a large mass is present. Similar to the idea where larger droplets will "suck" smaller droplets into themselves instead of vice versa. Attraction properties amass at a large scale and based on the elements in question, there will be a certain amount of pull overall of a "heavenly mass" AKA planet. Gravity as well as light testing will be a useful idea when we decide to crack open a planet to take up the valuable minerals inside. IF gravity is too weak, it might not be worth your while to crack open the planet in question...
When you get the money... Don't forget me.

I might have to revoke my statement since I think I confused it with mass ;_;

I think you did. No one knows how mass is happens. The most common theory related to the Higgs boson but it is not yet discovered (although the LHC is meant to discover it, if it does indeed exist).

No one knows how gravity is generated. It's like electromagnetism, the weak force, or the strong force. They cannot explain why or how at the quantum level, or the macro level. We have a little idea as to some of the forces, but the least about gravity. That's why your professor is correct. Even if someone glinted a tiny hint as to how (rather, why) it works, they'd probably receive the nobel.
It's one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. And gravity being the most enigmatic among them.

Lol, there is so much wrong in this thread I wouldn't know where to start... :-\
