Re: What is weight?



Look, Folks, "weight" is not a fundamental discovery! It is an invention
-- like many of our physics words -- and we are quite free to define it
however we like.

For me and my house, we are happy to call it "what the scale reads" and
then go on to explain how the scale reading might change in various
reference frames.
