Maclennane Dec 2009 8:12pm, 8 Dec 2009 15,230 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane No, gravity is a force which acts within a field. Weight is a measurement of that force. Force is also not an outcome, it acts on a body to produce an outcome - acceleration.

But Newton's laws (although incorrect universally speaking) are an incredibly good guide for the physics of how things work on planet earth. he he.

Maclennane Dec 2009 8:14pm, 8 Dec 2009 15,232 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane Magnetism is analogous - a force and a field, and although einstein says that gravity is the manifestation of a warping of spacetime, its effects are that of a force, you have to completely redefine force if you're talking relativistically
