Is it angular momentum or the centrifugal force?

Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be attracted to one another. It is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In other words, the larger the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull, and the farther apart two objects are, the weaker their gravitational attraction.
Objects do not actually defy gravity, rather they appear to do so when they are in a state of freefall. This is when the force of gravity is the only force acting on an object, causing it to accelerate towards the ground at a constant rate. For example, when a person jumps off a diving board, they are in a state of freefall until they hit the water. This gives the illusion of defying gravity, but in reality, gravity is still acting upon the person, just at a faster rate than their body can resist.
No, there are no known materials or substances that can completely defy gravity. However, some materials, such as superconductors, can exhibit properties that counteract the effects of gravity, such as levitation. This is due to the interaction between the material's electrons and the Earth's magnetic field, creating a repulsive force that can overcome the force of gravity.
At this point in time, humans do not have the technology or knowledge to control or manipulate gravity. However, scientists are constantly studying and researching the nature of gravity in hopes of one day being able to harness its power for practical use. Some theories, such as string theory, propose the existence of extra dimensions that could potentially allow for gravity manipulation, but these are still hypothetical and have yet to be proven.
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is not just a force between objects, but also a curvature of spacetime. This means that objects with mass cause a distortion in the fabric of spacetime, causing other objects to follow a curved path towards them. Additionally, gravity can also affect the passage of time, as time moves slower in areas with stronger gravitational fields. This has been proven through experiments using atomic clocks in both high and low gravitational fields.
