Gravity

(noun.) a solemn and dignified feeling.

(noun.) (physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface; 'the more remote the body the less the gravity'; 'the gravitation between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them'; 'gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love'--Albert Einstein.
