Was there Gravity at dawn of history?

Does this mean that it is NOT a matter of of opinion, for non alternative theories, then?

No, it means there are no alternative theories.A theory is more than simply saying, "I think it could have been different." You have to show actual evidence that supports your claim that things were different. For example, if gravity were different then, we should see certain effects. No, that they could have built the pyramids is not such an effect.Instead, we should see things like changes in the rocks due to the fact that gravity would not compress things as much. Why is it the granites don't appear any different?And then there's the astronomical data: When you look into the sky, you look into the past because light takes a long time to reach us. So why is it that when we look into the past, we see that the gravitational effects are not any different from what we see here and now?The reason why we don't discuss other theories is because there are no other theories to discuss.

What reasons do you have that gravity was the same "back in the day"when they moved the heavy blocks of the pyramids?

---

Because all the evidence points to that conclusion. Gravity leaves effects. They all show a constant gravitational field.Why would you have us ignore the evidence?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Is there a relationship between the angle of debris slopes and gravity?

---

Yes, but not quite as directly as you might think.That is, a debris slope has to do with the friction involved which is a function of the materials. Gravity provides a force to overcome the coefficients of friction. With less gravity, less force exists and thus, a debris pile can have a steeper conical angle since there isn't as much force pulling on the items in the pile.So it isn't so much the gravity that controls it but the friction coefficients. Any force you care to use is sufficient and gravity is only one.
