  1. masses

    1. In physics, masses refers to the property of a physical body which determines the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction with other bodies, its resistance to being accelerated by a force, and in the Einsteinian interpretation, its gravitational distortion of local spacetime. 2. In general terms, masses can also refer to large numbers of people, often implying common characteristics or anonymity among them, such as the working masses or the masses of a country. 3. In religious context, particularly in Christianity, the Mass is the central act of worship, which involves the consecration of bread and wine that become, in a mystical way, the body and blood of Christ. 4. It can also refer to a significant amount or quantity of a particular substance or material, for instance a mass of data or geological mass.
