I'm not a physicist, but I
think what you have just "proven" is the existence of air resistance. Our atmosphere is not fictionless.
Although, I'm only a lowly geochemist and it's been many years since physics lab, but that's what I remember.

you think several billion planets and stars wouldnt put up resistance?

oh, and btw. i proved gravity, not air-resitance. lock th device in a vacuum. it will still stop, and it will never reach the same height without assitance. the force down is greater than the force out or up.
