Seriously?
If this is the case why is there such a thing as nebulae in the vacuum of space?
If gravity is this weak force how did over come the vacuum of space for stars to form within this nebulae? (considering you need a planet sized sphere for gravity to take hold)
Quite simply put these space clouds couldn't exist if gravity did it's thing or these space clouds would of evaporated in the vacuum of infinite space because gravity was too weak.
I did point out that gravity was an incredibly weak force. Nevertheless - it exists and it has an attractive force. Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust - they have mass - therefore there is a gravitational force between the particles, and a gravitational force between nebulae. They will clump together and form asteroids, planetoids, planets, and eventually, if massive enough, stars.
Gravity is a function of mass and distance - it operates independently of any intervening 'particles' between mass objects. It operates in a vacuum.
Seriously?
I mean this is assuming you believe in this nebulae bull**** theory in the first place. But you do because planets do not exist in this Terra firma form in space. Not only that the formed planets inside this nebulae they are shot out into space magically. I mean how does a star relative to a gas cloud just automatically get shot out and go on to form it's own galaxy? Then on top that what forces ceases the star to stop sucking up everything from the nebula via gravity? This whole thing is just absurd.
I'm sorry - I have no idea what this means. Please clarify what objects or phenomenon you are referring to.
But hypothetically speaking There is obviously a downward force I believe it has to do with an object finding its equilibrium given its surrounding medium in relation with electricity, temperature, vibration, magnetism and frequency....But this is just my opinion and something I can happily change.

So why does gravity (or the force that we call gravity) also occur as a sideways force? If you place a plumb line near a large mountain, an attractive force towards the mountain can be measured (of course, very small, and far less then the force towards the centre of the earth). You can even measure the horizontal force of gravity between two lead balls in a lab (this was done first pre-1800 - see the Cavendish experiment) Also, why is the strength of the downwards force vary across the earth?
By the way, did you watch the entire Neil de Grasse Tyson video (it's only 2 minutes long), or just the first 10 seconds where he makes his gravity joke?
To reiterate - the law of gravity describes what happens - every time, repeatable, predictable. You can call it the Law of Universal Downwards Force if you like. How it does what it does - yeah, that's complex - the scientific consensus seems to be that the Theory of General Relativity has the best explanation - that has been slightly modified over the years, and is incomplete (the theory actually states it's own incompleteness, and Einstein himself was adamant that his theory was not complete), but overall, it is generally accepted to be on the right track.
