      I certainly hope not!

      There’s a rule in physics that’s called the principle of the uniformity of nature. It means that the laws of nature will be the same all over the universe and for all time. And as far as we know, this rule is true.

      If this rule is true (and there’s a lot of evidence to suggest it is) then there is no reason why Earth would lose gravity all of a sudden.

      So I think we are safe!
