Also, there are many “exceptions” to the theory of gravity and apples do not always fall. Is an apple on a table falling? What about if you lift it? Oh my God, it’s doing the opposite of falling! How is that possible?!?

The theory of gravity says that mass exerts gravitational force, whether that force is sufficient to cause motion depends on other forces being exerted on a given object. An apple sitting on a table is not an exception to the law of gravity, gravity is still happening, but the force of the table counter-balances it.

Yeah, that's my point.
