Thanks for the reply Danger, that cleared things up a bit. By 'Scientific Revolution' I meant the period of time when Galileo and others began to reject Aristotle's medieval view of the universe (i.e. the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries).

This may be a weird question, but oh well. Way back during the Scientific Revolution it would have been possible to define mass as acceleration divided by force right? Then you'd have F = a/m, and the units for force would be different than they are now.
