He thought the same rules applied everywhere on earth, on the moon, on the sun. Lots of things have mass so lots of things will exert gravity and the amount of mass will determine how much gravitational mass there will be. David hume wanted to be the newton of the mind. Hume thought that there was a common human nature people are the same. People in far away places are in many many many ways the same as us. Hume thought the same principles applied to all human beings. Different people have different standards and if they come together there can be no agreement.
