How do you believe gravity force could be controlled?

Question

The objective of this question is to generate insights of how this problem could be solved using collective mankind´s knowledge.
The greatest cientist of our history didn´t solve this question yet, but now the Internet provide us a platform where colaborative knowledge share between schoolars and common people can give us a better chance to actieve this goal.

Answer 1

We do control gravity to some extent, just look at aircraft and the rockets, if you examine the mechanics of these machines at a subatomic level you may get a better understanding of how gravity works, My guess is the effect of gravity is caused by subatomic matter. my guess also includes blackholes occuring at subatomic levels,

we can guarantee when learn to control gravity some government will find a deprived way to manufacure a weapon using this new technology, somtimes we have to be careful what we wish for.
You can only hope the technology is used only for peaceful puproses.

Answer 2

I guess what you mean is how do we manipulate gravity? I think it's a very interesting idea, but the main problem is, we have no idea what causes gravity. It's completely different to any of the other fundamental forces we know of. The only way we know of to make a significant gravitational field is to get a big chunk of stuff. We haven't found any evidence that there is such a thing as repulstive gravity, so we can't play with it the way we do with positive and negative electromagnetic poles to create fields. Since nature isn't pointing the way, the only hope we have of manipulating gravity is if we can understand it - gravitational wave experiments, dark energy searches, and various other gravity exeriments are hoping to point the way to this.

Answer 3

As we understand gravity at present, the very general and Newtonian equation for gravity relates the magnitude of the force being proportional to the mass of the object creating the gravitational force and inversely proportional to the distance you are from the object.

In basic terms, if you were to make the force-creating object more massive, this would increase the gravitational force it exerts on other objects with mass, the opposite is true.

In terms of it being controlled in the sense you mean (and I am not entirely sure what you do mean), I can't see the reason for wanting to control it. What advances would it give us? If you're looking into manipulation of any force, surely it would be worth our time more to look into the strong and weak nuclear forces, with a view to finding the holy grail - cold fusion.

Answer 4

i've got spent a brilliant form of time questioning approximately this. A gravity insulator or shield would be an extremely effective undertaking to have. think of you have one and do theory experiments approximately what it might recommend. maximum of those experiments finally end up violating the Equivalence theory between gravitational tension and acceleration. once you're in a closed container and would't seem out, you could not tell no count if the tension you experience is from gravity or from the container being sped up, say by potential of a rocket. Newtonian gravitational tension F = -GMm/r^2 is a function of the two hundreds and the gap between them, and genuinely not the rest. by potential of this, the gravitational tension between the two bodies exists no count what else you do. accepted Relativity considers spacetime warped in any area close to count. that is confusing to think of a thank you to cheat the form of spacetime. meanwhile, technological know-how hasn't given up examining gravity. and that i've got not given up questioning approximately gravity insulators.

Answer 5

Right now we are still at the barely-crawling stage of experimentation. The only way we have of experimenting with low-gravity conditions is in orbit, which is hard to get to. The only other way would be by tunneling down toward the center of the earth. Theoretically, in the center, the mass of the earth would be pulling you equally outward in all directions,and you would experience zero gravity. Once we know how it behaves, and if we can find something (other than mass) that affects gravity, we might be able to start learning how to control it.

Answer 6

We cant overcome gravity except for explosive force to remove one smaller and less dense body from another. In order to overcome the earths gravity, you would have to create an object more dense than the earth (it wouldnt have to be bigger, just heavier), but if you did that, the earth would then be attracted to the other object and then you new gravitational pull would keep the object and earth connected still. The only way to make the earth a lesser gravity pull would be to lessen the density. Cant do it.

Answer 7

All you need to do is extend your warp field around the area that you want to control gravity. Then change the gravitational constant within that field to zero.

see- it's that easy (for Star Trek TNG afficianados)

Other than that- we don't really have a way to change the basic nature of the universe.

You could take a ride on the "Vomit Comet" a military plane that's flies parabolic trajectories and can sustain 0g for about a minute before it needs to pull up.

Answer 8

Interesting question, i'm no scientist, but i've been thinking that the earth's gravitational field to the moon's differ. why is that? I'm sure that question has been answered b4 (i think it has soemthing to do with earth's magnetic field being stronger). so, maybe by creating some sort of magnetic force opposite of earth's (on a small scale - like the CERN tunnel), we may be able to manipulate gravity around that particular force? wishful thinking!

Answer 9

well superman uses gravitons that are produced by his body so you can't controll the entire planets gravity cause then that would be devastating to all man kind sooo you must controll ur own gravity space the more massive an object the more gravity so if somebody was to create a device that could use balck hole tactics then they would in a controlled envirorment be able to manipulate gravity

Answer 10

As I understand it, to control gravity you would have to be able to manipulate a given items gravity well. So, what does a gravity well consist of? Once you are able to identify the make up of a gravity well, you will be better able to effect changes on it. Good idea & good luck.
