It is all based on the theory of relativity (by Einstein): gravity, as a
matter of fact, is not a force as itself, but is based on how an object
with mass curves the 4-dimensional time-space around it (remember those
illustrations of space as a sheet of rubber, where planets are figured as
marbles that bend the rubber sheet around them?). The milligram scale,
then, measures the curvature of space. And for this curvature, it really
does not make difference if you move the object one inch this way or that.

I'm just joking, of course :-)
