How far are we from developing this technology, also, what idea and technologies are being used to propose this to make it a possible reality?
josephjah said:Hmm I don't know... Newton's third law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." could this also apply to gravity itself?
josephjah said:Ehh... I wouldn't go as far as saying there are 'no' ideas geared towards it because I have seen numerous articles and proposals pertaining to anti-gravity (I'm not saying they are proven, or even work for that matter), but I think that our best bet would be supercooled semi-conductors from what I have read in the past.
ZapperZ said:And oh, Newton's 3rd law works very well already with gravity. The "reaction" here is the pull on the Earth by the object the same way the object is being pulled by the earth. I thought this was clearly covered in intro Physics classes already?
Zz.
Pengwuino said:I'm still rather amazed that I can't really grasp the idea that I am pulling on the Earth as well. I'm going to be a useless physicist.
Anti-gravity is a hypothetical concept that refers to a force that counteracts the effects of gravity, allowing objects to defy the laws of gravity and float or fly without any external support or propulsion.
At this time, anti-gravity is still considered a theoretical concept and has not been proven to exist. While there have been experiments and theories proposed, there is currently no evidence to suggest that anti-gravity is real.
The exact mechanism of how anti-gravity would work is still unknown. Some theories suggest that it could be achieved through the manipulation of gravitational fields or the use of exotic materials with negative mass. However, these theories are still largely speculative and require further research and experimentation.
Potentially, yes. If anti-gravity were to be proven and successfully harnessed, it could potentially revolutionize space travel by allowing spacecraft to overcome the limitations of Earth's gravity and travel faster and more efficiently through space.
Since anti-gravity is currently only a theoretical concept, it is difficult to determine whether or not it would be dangerous. However, if it were to be successfully harnessed, it would likely require strict regulations and extensive testing to ensure its safe and responsible use.
