You know, there are other forces that affect objects, it's not just gravity.
You can do an experiment (probably not at home!) where a very sensitive strain gauge can measure the attraction of two large masses towards each other. (Large masses, but still tiny when compaired the whole planet, which is why you need very sensitive equipment, but it has been done)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
