Gravity

Z: I figured out how gravity works. I know gravity is what keeps us from falling off the earth but I kept thinking 'where does it come from' so I thought and thought until I figured it out. I think there are Jedis standing on the clouds using the force to keep us all safe and not falling off the earth.
