Microgravity parable

On 8 Oct 2003 17:41:25 -0700, in a place far, far away,
(Stuf4) made the phosphor on my
monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

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

Verifiable reference, please. Not just the name of a book, please provide
the specific page and a quote.

I just found this page that gives a good set of q/a's:

http://amos.indiana.edu/library/scri...rogravity.html

Excerpts:

"...there's no such thing as zero gravity."

"...weightlessness and zero gravity are two different things."

Which doesn't mean that gravity is not acceleration. Nice diversion,
though.
