Default Microgravity parable

From Rand:

- Gravity is *distinctly different* from acceleration.

While gravity has a property of acceleration, it is *not*
acceleration.


Your continued repetition of this statement does not make it true.


The statement you are quoting has been accepted physics since it was
spelled out in detail in Isaac's Principia.

Gravity manifests as a force, not an acceleration.

That is the first conceptual distinction. The second distinction is
that...

Acceleration can be caused by *any* force, not just gravitational
force.
