NVP5White said:"force" is a poor choice of words and not what the OP or the guy who originally thought of this question had in mind, IMO. See force: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force
A force is not a thing, not an object, has no mass. It does not exist in the physical world. So, instead, I applied the properties of a force to something that does exist in the physical world.
Or, if this is really a philosophical question about non-real objects then I think the only answer can be "much debate by people with too much time on their hands."
Maybe someone else can provide some physics-centric feedback to my post found here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3180054&postcount=43
gravity it a force... which fits your definition... so yes a force... hence all the black hole and light speed talk... but yea i think he was going for two objects but what he posed as the question and what he really said are two different things.hence the debate.
