Will the laws of gravity ever break?

Question

Is it possible, seriously that gravity will ever just stop working?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possibile. Gravity is merely a force exerted by mass which draws more mass to itself. Everytthing exerts gravity (when your in the bath and a hair or something floats toward you on the water). However, with Quantum Theory and new breakthroughs in subatomic physics we are discovering particles which break ALL the rules, not just gravity.
As it stands gravity will only stop working if you invent an anti-gravity unit (my friends building one) or a mass greater than the earth moves close to the earth and we all get pulled to pieces off the planet.
Then there's Black Holes, a tear in spacetime where gravity is SO strong it tears itself.

Answer 2

Yes it is, because the current understanding of gravity is fundamentally flawed. Right now it's believed that the charge of an electron cannot change, but pretty soon I'm sure we will find out that this is not true.

The charge on electrons balance out on the scale that is our solar system, so it's hard to tell when some are pulled off or some are pulled in, but the electrons always balance out the charge that the planet carries at the time. Gravity wouldn't cease working immediately. For this to happen, each and every electron on Earth would have to be charge up at the same time, and this is not how the energy operates. It would pour in from some region of space, and if the amount of energy required to have us floating around came in all at once it would cause gigantic hurricanes and tornadoes and lightning bolts, and we would begin discharging it to the other planets in our solar system, which would keep the violent weather going for even longer.

But if the stream was gradual, eventually the electrons would gain a charge large enough to ease the effects of gravity. The green or red electric fire would also be much more common, or St. Elmos fire as it's called. Scientists wouldn't have to wonder how the Ultrasaurus was able to keep his head up without bursting all his blood vessels, or how the ancients were able to haul 30 ton blocks 200 miles to build the Great Pyramid or the 120 ton Baalbek stones in Lebanon.

But I don't think this is going to happen to our planet. I think we've already passed that time in our history. Right now, I think we're losing electrons through tornadoes and hurricanes. As the electric current that powers our Sun weakens, the elements that are stored in that celestial body will want to regain the electrons that they lost when the current was at its strongest.

2012 baby. Some awesome galactic, electric current stuff that nobody saw coming is going to build up. I'm sure if we knew how these currents worked, we'd be able to look up into the Heavens and know what energies are building up and what's heading our way. I'm sure somebody already does, but you won't be hearing about it. It's too important.

Answer 3

It's a law of science. It will not be broken. Of course other laws can supercede its effects, like the law of inertia. After all, we do have rockets and they have left the earth and travelled to other planets - and even out of the solar system.

Things are attracted to each other by gravity. That is as sure as the fact that the sun rises in the east each morning.

Gravity is considered a "weak" force. There are other forces which are stronger than gravity. So, the net force acting on an object might be more greatly influenced by something else rather than gravity.

Answer 4

we know that the speed if earth is decreasing after every 100 years by certain amount, after a very long time earth should stop rotatin around the sun,and some say it will begin to rotate the other way around, thats why in Islam in the judgement day main signs sun will rise from east instead of west , some say in this momentary stop gravitional forces between earth and sun are not in equilibrium because there is not centrifugal force but centripidal forces =mv^2/r and then booooom crash

Answer 5

no- the weak gravitational force is written into the very fabric of space-time and therefore cannot "just stop working"- however with time and research it MAY be possible to discover how to manipulate it making an "anti-gravity" system possible.

Answer 6

in 5.2 billion years the sun will grown into a red giant and we will all die leaving earth into smitherines but gravity will never fail

Answer 7

well, as far as we know, gravity can't stop working, because it doesn't really "work". it kind of just "is". it's one of those things that is used in definitions and explanations of objects; you can't really describe it, just it's effects on things.

Answer 8

well gravity is related to mass. so unless earth shrunk or got mined out. no.

Answer 9

yes, once the earth stops rotating on it's axis.

Answer 10

NOTHING remains the same..the universe is in constant change. Nothing is impossible
