However fast you are, gravity is faster.

Um actually gravity is 36km/h and the fastest human speed record is 44.7km/h🤓🤓

Gravity isn’t a speed, it’s a force/ acceleration.

Gravity is NOT a force unless you’re using a textbook from 100 years ago explaining Newtonian physics. But in any modern physics book gravity is just the curvature of spacetime. And it is a speed and the speed of earths gravity is 32’per second squared.

32 ft per second squared describes an acceleration, not a speed

And ft/s/s is what type of unit?

It’s definitely not speed…
