    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Haha, yeah right. After seeing pictures of the known universe, it's hard to believe that our one little speck means anything to any higher power. I know that the theories were a huge step forward in even thinking about what's going on with the universe, but so many people think that these...

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Like the last few posts said, it is not understood. I don't think anyone here really knows, these are just repeated ideas from Newton, einstein, etc. Even those 2 guys knew they didn't have the whole answer. I'm disbelieving einsteins theory more and more

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Everything in existence. :). Kind of a tall order, but if I had my drathers, it'd be everything about how the universe works.

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Alright, when I first said shielded room, was thinking we were held here by space pushing against us. Know that's not right now. Still feels like somethings missing in the current knowledge.

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Alright, I think I'm getting it. If I go skydiving and jump out of a plane, the Earth is moving toward me, and not deploying my 'chute to use wind resistance, the Earth would eventually *hit me* at ?166k? mph w/ several kg's of mass. Is that mostly it? Also, space itself is pushing on me...

    Good information on magnets, magnetic energy, magnetic forces

    Found that site too. Would like to find some info on magnetic fields, forces, and equations for these.

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Oh wow, think I just got it. We are where we are, and as the Earth moves, it moves us, and exerts force on us. Is that basically it? If that's right, then...wow, exhilirating.

    Good information on magnets, magnetic energy, magnetic forces

    Can anyone point me in the direction of good information on magnet's, magnetic energy, magnetic forces. Or does anybody have a good understanding of this? Would really like to find somewhere that I can order magnets. Or better yet, make good one's myself, or find out how to find rare Earth...

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Thought "weight" was the effecÞ of "gravity" on us, and w/out gravity (space) we would be weightless? We weigh less when we free-fall because we have no resistance besides air for "gravity" to force on us? Didn't Newton give-up on understanding what "gravity" is, and simply said, "I'll call...

    Electromagnetic Energy: Existence, Measurability & More

    TY dalespam, exactly the thought I came up w/ after posting my first thought of a pole. Maybe not feasible right now, but... Next idea that followed, and is not practical, but a track made of copper, wrapping around an entire globe, laid out in relation to the moon revolving around the planet...

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    Alright, so either a)Gravity pulls us towards the center of the Earth (but nothing can be "pulled") b)The Earth pushes us up (free fall toward?) c)space around us is pushing us back down toward Earth because the Earth is moving through space, and space offers some kind of resistance on earth...

    Electromagnetic Energy: Existence, Measurability & More

    More of a theory, just wondering if even possible theoretically. If space is a vacuum, then is there anything to apply friction?

    Electromagnetic Energy: Existence, Measurability & More

    We are constantly surrounded by electromagnetic energy, right? In what way does this energy exist? Is it measurable? Is there much of it? Side thought, hypothetically, with a pole extended from Earth to outside Earth's atmosphere, couldn't the friction on the pole from "space" be converted...

    Exploring Universe: Weightless in a Shielded Room?

    New to trying to understand the universe, so may be off on some things, but please let me know if I am. Part of Einstein's general theory of relativity is that "gravity" doesn't pull on us, but rather "space" pushes on us and that's what keeps us on earth. But if that's the case, wouldn't...
