Right. The theory of *gravity* is just a theory.

Um, actually, it's the Law of Gravity.  It's been proven (at least the • basic
aspects) over and over enough times that you can accept it as a Law.

The only Law of Gravity is that it exists.  Many *theories* of gravity of
been used to explain it, Relativity being one of the most recent (prior to
that, Isaac Newton's was used).
