1. Shaftesbury:

   It is the saying of an ancient sage that humor was the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor.

2. Aristotle:

   Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.

3. Andrea Ghez:

   Einstein's right, at least for now, we can absolutely rule out Newton's law of gravity. Our observations are consistent with Einstein's theory of general relativity. However, Albert Einstein theory is definitely showing vulnerability. It can not fully explain gravity inside a black hole, and at some point we will need to move beyond Einstein's theory to a more comprehensive theory of gravity that explains what a black hole is.

4. Sharon Morsink:

   At some level, the majority of physicists believe that Einsteins theory of gravity, called general relativity, is correct. However, that belief is mainly based on observations of phenomena taking place in regions of space with weak gravity, while Einsteins theory of gravity is meant to explain phenomena taking place near really strong gravitational fields, neutron stars and black holes are the objects that have the strongest known gravitational fields, so any test of gravity that involves these objects really test the heart of Einsteins gravity theory.

5. Karen Kasich:

   If I throw a ball up in the air, the laws of gravity don't immediately have it come down. The laws of gravity mean at some point it will come down, but look, he's touched a nerve that I talked about in the very first debate. People feel like they don't have much say. They think that the rich and the special interests get everything they want. And I acknowledge that. And I tell people that, you know, I've been the antidote to that most of my lifetime.
