Today, this is known as "the equivalence principle." Gravity accelerates all objects equally regardless of their masses or the materials from which they are made. It's a cornerstone of modern physics.

That leads me now directly to the Equivalence Principle, the cornerstone of General Relativity. Googling 'Equivalence Principle' it is somehow depressing. Wikipedia isn't wrong, but too specific (the Equivalence Principle doesn't have anything to do with standing on the surface of the Earth).

But according to the equivalence principle, if an acceleration can have this effect on electrons, so too can a gravitational field. ... This renders equivalence principle a strictly local law, which effectivelly means, in real world Equivalence Principle is always violated at finite distance.

The weak equivalence principle is a cornerstone of general relativity and states that, in the absence of other forces, all objects fall with the same acceleration under the influence of gravity.

Practically every theoretical attempt to connect general relativity to the standard model allows for a viola-tion of the equivalence principle [1]. Equivalence-principle tests are therefore important tests of unification scale phys-ics far beyond the reach of traditional particle physics experiments.

Some Consequences of the Equivalence Principle ... General relativity extends this to accelerating frames, and states their equivalence to frames in which there is a gravitational field. This is called the Equivalence Principle.
