Or atleast creating a zero g enviroment due to counter-acting earth's gravity with another source of gravity.
If we could hover something 100 times the density of lead a foot from the ground it would create a zero g zone. Just the energy required to hover such mass would be huge.
Agree or no?

Practical solution?
How about a piece of paper in a vacuum tube and suspended above it an inch away a 100lb piece of lead suspended by a huge helium ballon. Will the piece of paper float or no?

Well what I did was buy myself a gravity cat. Problem solved.

Sure. And if the Earth were shaped like a donut, there'd be no gravity in the middle too. Have you got a practical solution?

no, it would have to be much much BIGGER! and it would have to be outside the earth's atmosphere to work. It would need to counteract all the forces in the atmosphere before it could conteract something that close to earth. but it is a good theory. It would have to be another galaxy.
