Anyone got anything other than the stupid Cavendish experiment?

Prove gravity is real. Please and thank you.

It pulls on everything else. We can't see air, otherwise we would most likely see small air tides up to 20 miles or so.

Nothing else has as much freedom to rearrange as liquids or gas. Dirt wants to move but can't.

I guess you could suspend a weight on a scale and measure the difference as the moon goes by.

We can see clouds. Are they attracted to the moon?

Physics says yes, but with wind patterns and other temperature effects, the moon's attraction is definitely minor.

Weird, because if it pulls on heavy oceans, you would think it would noticeably pull on light clouds.
