jr writes> Take a balance scale to start with. View it as two pans of non-uniform atoms that the uniform action on each pan [g] allows the non-uniform atoms in each pan to be measured in units of comparative resistance. The quantity [g] is a consequence of location and is different at different planets but is nonetheless constant where the scale if balancing the atoms.. So [g] divides out leaving only a quantity we call mass and define as a factor of the product weight [mg]. We feel weight and so we think that what we feel is controlling the universe because [mg] is quantifiable and we have defined [mg] as a force we feel which also becomes quantifiable. [m] and [g] are distincly separate quantities. If mass [m] affected [g] the rate of acceleration then the more mass the faster it would accelerate and we would not have a quantity called mass. All we would have is weight [w].
We have based every aspect of physics on gravity a force that we feel. Inanimate objects feel nothing. We have just up and claimed that the force we feel is equal and opposite to the resistance we measure and call weight. Basing an entire universe on a forcxe we feel weight is no more objective than basing it on what we call heavy and what we call not heavy. OTOH if the attraction is uniform on non-uniform atoms (Einstein contrived a uniform gravitational field still locked into heavy and light) where a uniform attraction on non-uniform atoms is electromagnetic from the gate but it is a form of electromagnetism that acts on all atoms not just those atoms optimally configured ... interrupted have to continue later sorry thanks for the reply.
