Did you ever let go of a helium balloon?
A hot air balloon?
A kite in the wind?
Looking back at my answers, I now see that I answered them inappropriately and should have answered them in the manner which they deserved.
Therefore the following are the more appropriate responses to such .... questions:
Did you ever let go of a helium balloon?
Yes, and I have watched a balloon filled with only helium fall.
A hot air balloon?
If I were physically capable of picking up a hot air balloon and let go of it, it would fall to the ground.
A kite in the wind?
Yes, I have held in my hands and let go of a kite in the wind and watched it fall to the ground. I have even put it on a string and tried to fly it and it still falls.
Gravitation was obvious enough that Newton came to the conclusion that it existed. If someone else cannot look at the same evidence and come to the same conclusion of what is so blatantly obvious, then I guess it's also pretty obvious that that person is no Newton. Some people would be better off staying out of physics.
