If there were such a material as negative mass, then the formula for the force of

gravity predicts that a negative and a positive mass would repel each other. But

nothing has ever been discovered yet that behaves like negative mass, so as far

as has ever yet been observed, gravity is always an attractive force.

Why is gravity considered Natures weak force?

Gravity between any two particles is much, much weaker than the strong force, the weak force, or the electromagnetic forces.However, note that gravity acts over long distances, and particles attract each other, they don't repel each other, through gravity. Therefore, the cumulative effect can be considerable, and gravity is a very powerful force on large (astronomical) scales.
