Is "empty space" empty (only reasonable answers)

RE: Is "empty space" empty (only reasonable answers)
Gotta go with one kind of gravity like others have.

My problem with gravity is.....it really doesn't seem to be a force at all.

Consider the equation:

F = G (M1+M2)/r^2

OK - G is a constant and has no units.
M1 + M2 are mass - Kg.
R is distance - m

So the units of gravity are Kg/m^2

The thing is:

F = ma.

M is mass - Kg.
A is acceleration - m/s^2

So the units of force are Kgm/s^2

In other words there is a time element to force but gravity lacks it.

Never made any fucking sense to me.
