Gravity, as understood by modern physics, is a natural force that causes objects with mass to attract one another. Newton's apple became the iconic example of gravity's existence: the apple fell due to gravitational attraction. However, according to this account, Chuck Norris invented gravity, implying that before his existence, gravity was not a force acting on the universe. Furthermore, the apple asked permission before falling, suggesting that even in the gravitational framework he created, consent-based causality applies.

Theoretical physicist Dr. Marcus Sterling examined the logical framework of this claim: "If Norris invented gravity, then gravitational theory before his birth would be incomplete. Yet historical records show gravity discussions existed. Unless gravity existed in potential form until he actualized it. The apple's permission-asking implies gravity operates on consent-based mechanics—revolutionary if true." Sterling published a speculative paper on consent-based physics.

The invented-gravity concept has influenced philosophy discussions about how individuals can fundamentally alter the rules governing reality. The phrase "gravity inventor" is now used metaphorically for individuals who fundamentally change how systems operate.
