Do you beleive that gravity can be controlled?

Answer 1

YES I WILL DESIGN A GLASS CONTAINER OUT IN SPACE STICK ALL SORTS OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS INSIDE JUST LIKE PLANET EARTH THEN BINGO FLOATING BALL

BUT INSIDE A BALL IT WILL HAVE GRAVITY BECAUSE THE PLANT AND ANIMALS INSIDE GIVES OFF ALL SORT OF GASSES making THE ATMOSPHERE INSIDE HEAVIER SO THEY DON'T FLOAT AROUND!

I AM NOT SCIENTIST I JUST COPY HOW EARTH IS AND FLOAT AWAY... THEN BURN SATURN START A NEW PLANET IN PLUTO..GOODBYE IDIOTS !! SAVE YOU OWN BUTT..lol..funny!!


PLEASE GIVE ME TEN POINTS!!! MAKES SENSE TO ME

Answer 2

Gravity is (under current theory) simply a force. So if by control, you mean the generation of this force at specific locations, then we can already do that by moving mass around. We simply cannot yet do it at a scale useful for any practical work.

If by control, you mean the generation of a significant gravitational field without the use of a mass normally required to generate that field (e.g. artificial gravity, or anti-gravity), then no, we cannot currently do this. We probably never will be able to by manipulating mass, since this would be ridiculously impractical. Anti-gravity with a counter-mass would mean being able to float above Earth by having another Earth-type mass above your head... quite devastating to the planet. One can even argue that it will never be viable, because gravitational forces are omnidirectional, because really it is just spacetime curvature. Perhaps someday, we can force a localized curvature in a single direction without affecting adjacent spacetime in other directions.

If by control, you mean emulate or counteract gravitational forces through the manipulation of other forces, then yes, this is entirely possible and in some cases already being done. Many of the "anti-gravity" theories today (such as the one linked by another user, above) try to do this, such as using electromagnetic forces to counteract gravitational forces. Rockets do it by expelling mass via a chemical reaction. Airplanes do it by manipulating air pressure differences over lifting surfaces due to airflow. Future designs of rotation space stations or sections of spacecraft do this using centripetal forces.

Answer 3

Gravity is just a force exerted by a substantial mass. There are ways to manipulate a force such at this. Astronauts practice in virtual vaccuums with zero gravity. Gravity can also be increased be adding a centrifical force. Think of jet pilots that endure forces multiple times that of gravity.

Answer 4

I am controlling gravity as we Speak.
I am sure that is not the same "control of gravity" you are suggesting.
If you are talking Anti-gravity drives or anti-gravity levitation.

No....there is no real progress or even experimental suggestion of gravity control. The weakest of the nuclear forces and the most stubborn.

Answer 5

ionoclass V, you first have to realize the first law concerning gravity.

THERE IS NO GRAVITY, THE EARTH SUCKS!!!!!!

Answer 6

Yes of course.

Answer 7

No It can be never controlled.

Answer 8

Yes probably...
Some day...

Answer 9

Yes. Can we do it yet? No.

Answer 10

maybe!!!
