Gravitation can move a potentially infinite mass.
Freefall moves all masses alike.
I know there is no such thing as an infinite mass or physical quantity.
Still gravity is cosmological. It moves the entire universe.

infinite mass cant move becus the frictions and viscosity

You have missed my point. There is no such thing.
But theoretically gravity can move an arbitrarily large mass -
in a vacuum(no source of friction!)
I believe this is the real power of gravity.
Freefall has no trouble moving all masses alike no
matter how large.
But how?

No.
Gravity is the weakest force in the universe. When you stand up, your legs
are strong enough to hold up a column of air 35 miles long, the weight of
your body and your clothes - all are being pulled down by the mass of the
Earth.
Going back to your first point, there is no mathematical basis for what you
say. Does the gravity from your body mean pencils move towards you? No. This
is because, the weakness of gravity means that to move even the smallest
(mass) objects significantly the gravitational source must be much more
massive.
Freefall - what do you mean by this? My understanding of freefall involves
people jumping out of planes....
All forces are cosmological. Gravity moves the universe because there is so
many objects (with mass) in it.

I hope you don't actually believe that.
A 35 mile long column of air with the cross section of your body would weigh
around one tonne.
Pretty good legs, eh?

On the moon maybe.

You are very confused.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.
