:In other words, apparently, inertial and gravitational mass for a given body are always identical, or rather reflect the same underlying characteristic of the body which we measure as mass, for any object in the universe; although certain theories explain why this might be the case, none adequately explain why it ''must'' be. ---[[User:Jolbucley|Jolbucley]] ([[User talk:Jolbucley|talk]]) 04:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC) | :In other words, apparently, inertial and gravitational mass for a given body are always identical, or rather reflect the same underlying characteristic of the body which we measure as mass, for any object in the universe; although certain theories explain why this might be the case, none adequately explain why it ''must'' be. ---[[User:Jolbucley|Jolbucley]] ([[User talk:Jolbucley|talk]]) 04:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC) | ||
: Or just link it with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principle#Development_of_gravitation_theory .Wikipedia usually explains things better than anything short of a school book.

Considering that the comic says that there doesn't seem to be a reason for it to be true, and the title text, I think that the missing part of the joke possibly had something to do with her being "heavier" than what a scale would show (since the scale would use the square law to get the mass from the force), and possibly that she is immovable (or hard to move) --[[User:BorisIvanBabic|BorisIvanBabic]] ([[User talk:BorisIvanBabic|talk]]) 10:04, 27 September 2013 (UTC) | Considering that the comic says that there doesn't seem to be a reason for it to be true, and the title text, I think that the missing part of the joke possibly had something to do with her being "heavier" than what a scale would show (since the scale would use the square law to get the mass from the force), and possibly that she is immovable (or hard to move) --[[User:BorisIvanBabic|BorisIvanBabic]] ([[User talk:BorisIvanBabic|talk]]) 10:04, 27 September 2013 (UTC) | ||

Ok, a bit of a nit-pick: But gravitational attraction goes '''down''', not up, with the square of the distance.
