yeah, i just dropped my pen and since it fell straight down instead of floating away i'm gonna say that gravity exists.

I was going to discredit this post for the same reason as I did the other, but there is an evidence in this post that without matter gravity is not present. cowgirl4christ states that her pen does not float away. However, the original post has come across an interesting idea...perhaps when matter collapses (as happens in the death of a supergiant)gravity remains present, as it cannot be passed to other matter.

not really, just that the gravity might not be able to be projected across space without matter, like sound is not able to be passed through space

Sound is an energy...

its an analogy...other energy types go across space without matter. Forces other than gravity seem to exist in space also without matter.

Well electromagnetic waves- light, radio can transverse vacuous space so why do you think gravity can not?

because the behaviour of gravity seems to be dependent upon matter and vice versa

Gravity is a force, without the Earth's matter, there would be no force, therefore no gravity.

Gravity is a force, without the Earth's matter, there would be no force, therefore no gravity.

There would be gravity even if the earth didn't exist.  Gravity permeates the entire universe.  Even the gravity of distant stars is felt here on earth- although infinitesimally.   The moon’s gravity however has a significant effect- actually pulling on the ocean’s waters to create tides.

If there was no natural mass in any object in the universe there may stand a chance of not being gravity, but then nobody or nothing will say if It can or can't.  Thus no existence.
