I want to know if when mercury is heated if it cuases it to move or shift. Also, what is the density of mercury when compared to other heavy metals? If it spins fast enough, will it provide enough inertia to negate gravity's effect on mass but still retain it's "weight" and be capable of propelling an object from point x to point y if the mercury is shifted or nudged?

It boils and then evaporates if you're just heating plain mercury with nothing else. Heating it with other chemicals will depend on what they are and different chemical reactions will occur.

Well, the following statement is unproved, but it is very interesting though... When you heat mercury in a closed metallic container (with certain shape) and heat it with fire, it starts to evaporate, but when the vapours hit the upper (cooler) part of the container, they cool off and go back to liquid state. This closes the circle and it can be set very rapidly depending on heating factor. Now the freaky part... accoring to Nikolai Kozyrev's theory for physical time, when a liquid evaporates it emmits time (ether); when the vapours go back to liquid they absorbs time (ether). If this cycle is dynamic enough, it will cause different time densities around the device, rarefying/compression of the ether and a propulsion force at the direction of raryfied ether/time. There are no inertial forces applyied within this kind of apparatus, no matter how quick it moves. If you're interested search for "flying Vimana", and "Kozyrev physical time"... and don't try this because it is very dangerous ;)

Heating anything causes the molecules to speed up by definition. Will heat cause it as a whole to move? It will cause it to expand somewhat which is why it rises in a thermometer. Compared to other metals its density is very high. For the last part of your question I'm not really sure what you're asking but I will say that gravity does not effect mass, it only effects weight, and you cannot negate gravity, you can only oppose it with other forces.

Researching ancient aliens huh? If you spin anything fast enough it's centrifugal force will eventually counteract gravity. But in an answer to your question, no mercury ALONE is not enough to propel an object from point x to point y. Please send me your sources.

It is very dangerous to heat Mercury ,if u get ti hot enough to generate fumes which u inhale can cause brain damage.
Gold is purified using this technique and many have brain damage from it.

it will disappeared after while as it will evaporate

It can "vaporize", and, it can "oxidize".
