- Earth's mass has remained constant, and thus the gravitational pull at the surface has decreased over time;
- Earth's mass has grown with the volume in such a way that the surface gravity has remained constant;
- Earth's gravity at its surface has increased over time, in line with its hypothesized growing mass and volume;

Famous quotes containing the words forms and/or hypothesis:
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“It is an hypothesis that the sun will rise tomorrow: and this means that we do not know whether it will rise.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
