You don't believe in gravity, Frank? Mitosis?
Gravity is there weather I believe it or not.
But surely you were aware that the space program is presenting challenges to our understanding of this most bedrock law of physics? Have you heard of the "Pioneer anomaly" or "Dark Matter"? Gravity refuses to acquiesce to our understanding once outside of Earth's orbit
The Pioneer Anomaly isn't a problem with our understanding of physics. While there are a host of explanations (involving both human error and a misunderstanding of some esoteric portions of physics), only one involves a wholesale challenge to physics as we know it today - and that challenge is supported by about as many physicists as the Loch Ness monster....all due respect to Loch.
Dark Matter isn't a problem with our understanding of physics - it's an explanation of why the observed expansion of the universe does not fit with the observed amount of matter in the universe.
Yes, because as I mentioned before our understanding of gravity (Oh, we still haven't found the graviton, the particle tha propagates gravity) fails to account for Pioneer and for the motions of both stars around their galactic center where there is not enough matter for gravity alone to account for the galaxies holding together and then to account for why it is that galaxies are flying away at an INCREASING rate.
But don't worry, FDR is great, almost 20% average unemployment notwithstanding until Hilter invaded Poland, because you and other people say so.
New Deal = Epic Fail
And stop giving FDR credit for the Fed taking their hand off the throat of US banks in 1933.
