 Bodies "resting" on Earth's surface; anywhere A particular body, anywhere on Earth will have essentially the same weight, anytime, and will likely free fall at the same rate - 16.087'/second^2 = g/2 - tomorrow as it does today. The ratio of twice its weight, divided by this rate (g/2) is a constant, and is a measure of its mass; the amount of material substance that it contains.  |

Have you observed tomorrow? And you presume that past gravitational behavior will work for describing future gravitational behavior? Sounds like a cult. |
