I'd like to know what crowd decided this?

Does this mean you agree that gravity cannot be directly detected?

What would it mean to have something directly detected, as opposed to indirectly detected? Can you give me an example of a phenomenon that can be directly detected in a whay that is obviously and qualitatively different from the way we detect our own weight?

Of course, sometimes a person is suspended in a tank of water and the amount of water displaced measures body weight/mass/fat content, muscle content, etc.

So how about you...where DO you come up with your idiocy? DU? MoveOn?

No, but looks like it means that you cannot answer a simple question.

Why are you changing the subject?

What's wrong with answering what he asked?
