Tony:The problem with trying to take gravity into account is that they can't explain it, so they can't really account for its effects. They just make an assumption and roll with it.

It you are a chemist and you are interested in how atoms react with each other, you do not need to worry about gravity. It is too weak to make any difference."-No, it has not been measured as 'a force'. The have a number that they use for it that seems to work, but they don't understand how or why it works.-
"Verlinde posits that gravity results from objects that had been stretched apart from one another and are just relaxing back into more "comfortable" positions. In this view, "Newton's law of gravity emerges in a surprisingly simple fashion."1 He told The New York Times, "We've known for a long time gravity doesn't exist. It's time to yell it."-http://www.newscientist.com/special/seven-things-that-dont-make-sense-about-gravity
