The First of the Four Forces of Nature. Gravity.

Life follows set rules which may be molded and shaped in different environments. These rules stay fundamentally sound; one has never woke up lying face down on their ceiling. The natural order of this planet is unique, like many planets, yet the majority of the difference between Earth and say Jupiter can be accounted for by how dissimilar the temperature and elemental composition are, not because the laws of nature differ.

  Never has a person thrown an apple up in the air at a certain velocity, to have it continue up into space. As soon as an object is propelled upwards to the sky it's velocity starts degrading as its battle against the force of gravity has already started to occur. The initial direction, which was upward, is forced down immediately and will begin to plummet to the ground. As soon as the static force of gravity takes precedence over the constantly degrading speed of the object fighting it, it falls down. Gravity acts as it does because the gravitational relationship of the Sun and all the planets that orbit it is so great that it grounds everything much smaller and less massive than the planets down to it. The strength of gravity is determined by the mass of two objects in regards to how close they are to each other. Although an object will travel much further before starting to descend back down if it were thrown on the moon, the fact remains that it will indeed come down eventually. The forces of nature may be skewed in different environments, yet at their core they still carry the same function.
