Gravity can move any size mass without resistance.
It can move a potentially *infinite* mass.

Though there will never be infinite mass this is the power of gravity.
It can move the entire universe!

Feynman talked about it. He called it the
unknown mechanism of gravity.

I know the mechanism. Its the 4th dimension.
Its the other dimensions moving!!!

Sure it does.  Its called inertia.

We'll wait here while you run and look up the word.

I agree as they are two point and its the difference between the points that
has the resistence.

Mass would resist any propulsion. But gravity
can move all amounts of mass alike without
resistance. It's as if falling objects are massless.

I have not studied this point very well but you might find that the
acceleration due to gravity is modified by both the mass and velocity of the
mass being so accelerated. Not very noticeable accept in very large masses
and velocities near c.

I believe that is the addition of velocities in freefall.
But I do not think that the amount of mass will effect it.

If  m = E/c^2 has any truth in it then the mass of a body being accelerated
would increase until it was greater than the larger body that it was being
accelerated by. Then if they did not impact the smaller body with the
greater velocity would start accelerating the larger body until >(E/c^2 *
v ) >  <(E/c^2 * v) then if <(E/c^2) had gained an orbit about >(E/c^2 * v )
the systems moves of at the velocity of  >(E/c^2 * v ) with <(E/c^2 * v)
oscillating about it in an elliptical orbit otherwise they just go in
maths... BANG.{:-).

f.cking imbecile.  Push a car in neutral on level ground.  Do you feel
any resistance?  When you get it rolling, try to stop it.  Do you feel
any resistance?  Hey stooopid - that is orthogonal to any attempt to
lift the car.

f.cking imbecile.  What is the end velocity of a massless object
subjected to one second of 1 m/sec^2 acceleration?

Idiot.  "Weightless" is not "massless."  Jackass.

What grade are you in? Fourth?
Take some more scienc classes, and after you inih Middle SChool
hopefully you will ralize how wrong this statement is.
Nick - 26 May 2005 23:54 GMT
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
Nick - 27 May 2005 00:47 GMT
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?

 Well, sorta yeah.  But the guys assertion is a bit
silly.  Intertia is the "resistence".  You cannot
apply a force in the absence of an equal and opposite
reaction.  You can't apply a force to a massless
object.

Without resistance?  The acceleration isn't infinite.  Barring friction,
the acceleration between Klassixx's penis and your sister's pussy would be
quite small.

No, you f.cking imbecile.  If "gravity moved any size mass without
resistance" its acceleration would be infinite.

You are the boloney packer here Al.
Freefalls acceleration fits the bill.
It is potentially infinite.

Wrong again fool: inertia.

This has been know for centuries. Your physics is still in the dark
ages.
Nick - 17 May 2005 20:42 GMT
Wrong. That's backward.
Inertia is only another way of saying resistance. That doesn't answer
the question of how
gravity moves mass without resistance.

You're a moron QM.

Any size mass?
Quantum Mirror - 22 May 2005 22:15 GMT
"How does gravity move mass dirk?
Any size mass? "

If you are the brightest the moral majority has to offer, I feel sorry
for them. Please take a moment to ponder how fast would the
acceleration be for movement without resistance?  Instantly to the
speed of light. We would die falling from 1/10 of an inch. Or is there
no such thing as kinetic energy in this fairy tale you have
constructed?
Nick - 22 May 2005 22:25 GMT
Motion is finite. It doesn't take an infinite force
to move anything less than the speed of light.
There is no weight in freefall.
There is no mass resistance.
Gravity moves all masses alike.

It can move a potentially infinite mass.
I know there is no such thing as an infinite mass.
Still gravity moves the entire universe.

<snip>

Visualize a rotating tensionless balloon
full of flexible hollow spheres which can
expand or contract (They are in a weightless
enviroment, devoid of any other influences)
the sphere's are unaffected by this rotation.

Then add random amounts an imaginary material
inside each sphere moving in random directions
and speeds.

(which has the effect of shinking the size of
each sphere the more material it contains and
the faster the material is moving. The material
is also attracted to the surface of the balloon
because of the rotation)

Some sphere's will shrink more than others
they will distort and rearrange themselves. The
balloons shape will adjust to the shape of the
sphere's .

Now visualize the imaginary material is mass,
the flexible sphere's are just notional divisions
of spacetime and the balloon is the universe.

This is in my opinion an overly simplified description
of the mechanism called gravity.
