OP is straight as spaghetti, once it is steamed up.

Negligible weight we could define as weighing <1kg just for an arbitrary definition.

This is an interesting statement. Is there no place in the universe so distant from any large mass that 0 gravity or negligible gravity could be attained?

Force of gravity drops exponentially with distance so I feel like this is very possible.

Edit: after a little googling and finding out the shockingly huge mass of stars like our sun. I believe finding a spot in space with negligible gravity may be harder than I thought.

Lagrange points are cool in that the gravity force of two masses cancel out there, but it's really no different than how orbiting causes 0 g's even though gravity is still present
