Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of reversing gravity, highlighting the current lack of understanding of how gravity functions. Participants emphasize that without a fundamental grasp of gravity, counteracting it remains impossible. The conversation suggests that the complexities of gravitational forces pose significant challenges to theoretical exploration. Overall, the inability to manipulate gravity stems from the mystery surrounding its mechanisms. The topic raises intriguing questions about the future of physics and the potential for breakthroughs in understanding gravity.

Why can't we find a way to reverse gravity?

I thought that it was a gag question, you wascally wabbit.
Basically, nobody knows how gravity works. That's sort of a prerequisite for counteracting it.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
