Create antigravity conditions on earth?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of antigravity and whether it is possible to create it on Earth. The term "antigravity" is not a scientific term and can be interpreted in various ways. Some argue against the current theory of gravity by claiming they can shield or cancel it, but this is considered crackpottery. The conversation also touches on the idea that our understanding of gravity may change in the future, potentially leading to the discovery of a new phenomenon of antigravity. However, it is important to remember that scientific theories are constantly evolving and should be questioned until they are proven.

The term "antigravity" is not a scientific term and can apply to any number of things. Does it apply to a helicopter or rocket by your definition?

Note, the way the word is typically used is by crackpots who are arguing against the current theory of gravity (saying they can shield or cancel gravity as opposed to just acting against it) and if that is the usage you are asking about, then no, it is just crackpottery. Also note that we don't discuss crackpottery here, so this is as far as such a discussion can go.

the graviton is it's own anti-particle , so no

Monty,

The answer is we don't know what gravity is. I suspect that when we really discover what gravity is, we may discover a new phenomenon of antigravity.

PS - dear moderator, pls to not label someone a crackpot who disagrees with your theories. When you can discover something for a fact, it is no longer a theory. Hence, most of what you tout is still theory, until you prove it, don't call someone who challenges it a crackpot.

I believe it is our duty to question everything until it is proven.

They aren't "my theories". You need to learn what science is/what a theory is, because saying something is a theory is a much stronger statement than you think it is and challenging a wildly successul theory in such a way most certainly is crackpottery.

Thread locked.
 

FAQ: Create antigravity conditions on earth?

How can antigravity conditions be created on earth?

There are currently no known methods for creating true antigravity conditions on earth. However, scientists are exploring concepts such as gravitational shielding, electromagnetic fields, and the manipulation of dark matter and energy in order to eventually achieve antigravity.

Why is creating antigravity conditions on earth important?

The ability to create antigravity conditions would have a significant impact on transportation, space exploration, and even medical procedures. It could potentially revolutionize the way we travel and open up new possibilities for space exploration.

What challenges are associated with creating antigravity conditions on earth?

One of the main challenges is understanding and controlling the complex forces involved in gravity. Additionally, creating and sustaining antigravity conditions would require a tremendous amount of energy and resources.

Are there any potential negative consequences of creating antigravity conditions on earth?

Antigravity technology could potentially have unintended effects on the environment and the human body. It is important for scientists to carefully consider and address any potential risks before attempting to create antigravity conditions on earth.

When do scientists predict that antigravity conditions will be created on earth?

Currently, there is no definite timeline for when antigravity conditions will be created on earth. It is a complex and ongoing area of research, and it is difficult to predict when the necessary technology and understanding will be developed to achieve antigravity.
