ok, A near 0 gravity, a spot where we could set up a Gyro to launch deep space or whatever with minimal or no fuels needed. Seems like a gyro in space could launch or push a vehicle really fast.

The is no real zero gravity, anywhere in the universe. There are places where the FORCE of gravity is zero.
The easiest of these is anywhere where you are falling freely (without air resistance). This happens when you jump off a chair, and when you jump out of an airplane (before air resistance slows you down). Also when you are in free orbit in outer space, without your rockets firing.
The other place where the force of gravity is zero, is where you are balanced between two planets or moon (or the Sun). There are 5 places around the Earth-Sun system, for example, where this happens. They are called "Lagrange" points. See the link for a picture.

Hi, im lookin to get a best answer here, so ill try to give you a lot of details (hint hint, haha). Okay, of what i know of, there can be no place with absolutly no gravity. Everything has at least a little gravitational pull. If you were stranded in space and the closest thing was a speck of dost 20 million miles away, you would start to float over to it. This would take an extreeeeeeeemely long time and you would move like an inch a thousand years, but, thats some gravity.
I was reading this book, Angels and Demons, and they had an interesting concept in it. They had anti matter in a case with magnets on all sides. The magnets got the droplet to hovor in the container and not move. So, maybe in the future we could st up a bunch of magnets out somewhere in space and create absolutly 0 gravity.
To sum it up, i dont think there is any place with 0 gravity. There might be some far off wierd cosmo thing that we havnt discovered yet, but who knows. I think in the future we will be able to create 0 gravity. In the future, 95% of discoveries will have to do with gravity, so that leaves a lot of room open.

Gravity permeates all of space,so there is never a complete absence.
Zero gravity force exists 220,000 miles above the earth in line with the moon.

For absolute zero gravity to exists, there would have to be no matter, as matter has mass, (even light has mass), which has an attractive force called gravity. As there is no place in the universe which has no mass, (even the most remote place is SOMEWHERE), there can be no place in the universe which has zero gravity. As for the Other World, who knows?

none that we know of, if you were set in space doing no speed at all you would find that all the stares are actually moving, and if you were to be unset you would find that actually you would start to move, so some thing somewhere is pulling you
