Can gravity be simulated?

Answer 1

the question is..... can you have Pepsi or Coke while being gravitated ?


you can e-mail me at [e-mail]
( if you want sometime )

Answer 2

Yes. According to the General Theory of Relativity, gravity and acceleration are the same. You can simulate (actually create) a 1g gravity in a rocket ship in space by causing it to accelerate at 9.8m/sec^2. There will be no way to determine (without external reference) that you are not in a gravitational field. High gravity is simulated in large centrifuges which are used to train pilots and astronauts.

Answer 3

Quantum physics and string theory have hypothesized the existance of actual particles of gravity - gravitons. Fermilab's atom smashers are on the hunt for these yet-unseen particles. Supposedly they hold a key to understanding the unseen dimensions of string theory, and act as a bridge unifying relativity and quantum mechanics.

Answer 4

gp4rts is partially correct. General relativity states that acceleration and gravity are the same.

There is one noticable difference. Gravity decreases in inverse proportion to the square of the distance. Acceleration does not.

Answer 5

yes, using centripetal force. like in the sci-fi movie "2001:.." inside the command module. being inside a cylinder spinning on its long axis, the cylinder wall will act as the floor

Answer 6

yes, its in the process

Answer 7

Thanks, but I've got enough of the REAL thing already!

Answer 8

no we cant
