What evidence would have been needed to refute the theory of gravity before it was proven to be a law? Write 1-2 sentences.

Question

PLEASE HELP! I am very confused. How am I supposed to refute something that has been proven!?

Answer 1

You could have fallen upward.
The moon could have simply departed.
The pendulum would have swung 360 degrees without any particular tendency to reverse direction.
on and on and on and on......

Answer 2

Note that the question DOES NOT ask you to disprove the theory. It asks you for evidence that WOULD refute the theory. Anonymous has provided succinct points that WOULD refute the theory.

Answer 3

BTW, the theory of gravity was not one of the topics I studied when I took years of chemistry. I would have thought physics would have been a better topic for naming the question. I do remember (a little, not much) of that coming up in the physics courses I took.
