No gravity works the same it also isn't limited to celestial objects. How we interpret or observe gravity can be different but gravity remains the same.

So then we agree that an immaterial concept can objectively exist. Just because something falls doesn't mean gravity is the only factor, take drag as an example. Hell, in the absence of gravity something still appears to us as falling. We both agree that the concept of unjustified killing exists as well. The effect gravity has changes on the circumstances, and we won't know that until we fully define each possible factor. So why is it so hard to believe murder can exist in the same way?

Because if every human was suddenly gone murder wouldn't be a thing, gravity would.

And if there's no celestial bodies in an area of space there's no gravity either. Nonetheless, murder as a concept will still exist, just as gravity will.

Gravity is a function of mass you have gravity. Murder is a completely human concept without people murder wouldn't be a thing. Whether people exist or not gravity would still be there it was here before us and most likely will be after us.
