Leibniz criticized Newton as his theory of gravitation did not identify the source of the interaction between bodies. Newton's idea of an invisible force able to act over vast distances was seen to be introducing "occult agencies" into science. Leibniz preferred his own theory of spinning vortexes in a swirling invisible fluid surrounding the planets as the source of the impact.

If you were far away from any planet would you be massless?

No. Mass works differently than weight. Weight differs based on gravity, mass does not. For example, if you had an object with a mass of 50 kilograms, it would weigh 491 newtons on the surface of the earth. The same object on the moon would still have a mass of 50kg, but would only weigh 81.5 newtons. At the same time, you are never far enough from any object to not experience some type of gravity, however slight it may be. So, while you could be practically weightless at some distant point in space, your mass there would be the same as it would be on Earth.

How can you find your mass?

Weigh your self. For some reason people seem to think Stone and KG are your weight however weight does not exist, it only exists because of gravity hence must be measured in Newtons (N). See the link if you want to work out your weight from your mass.

How does newtons view of gravity differ from Einsteins view of gravity?

Einstein's view of gravity is built upon Newton's but extended to some special situations where Newton's Laws (postulations?) have been shown or suggested not to apply. In particular in the presence of extremely high gravitational forces such as occur close to a black hole and as velocities approach the speed of light.


Why did some people criticize an early plan to congress to choose the president?

They wanted the people to have a role in selecting the president. Giving the vote solely to Congress takes it much more out of the hands of the people.
