If the forces holding atoms together were related to gravity, or if a lack of gravity means that ' every atom would vaporize', then we would not expect to find an interstellar medium. in as close to a genuine zero gravity environment (as opposed to freefall) as it's possible to get. In this particular case, we have observational evidence for various kinds of matter in the interstellar medium - i.e. In other words, even if we don't know what causes gravity (which is a whole other debate), we have observed what gravity causes and can infer what would happen if gravity wasn't there. Thought experiments are a valid way of thinking. Saying that something is 'just theory' is not at all the same thing as saying that we don't know anything about it. Properly speaking, a theory is a hypothesis backed up by empirical, falsifiable, evidence. "But not so open that your brains fall out." Popularly attributed to Carl Sagan. If the forces related to holding atoms together is also related to gravity it could happen. If we don't know what causes gravity we don't know the answer to that. (Cause you might need it for a little thrust management.) And whether or not the appendix vermicularis stretcher still works. The real question is how to keep the change in your pockets. But it would end in the same thing I would think. Or am I missing something?Īnd if ground and air mixed around it might shred you to pieces and continue on. Space travel would cease to be an option. It would be a matter of being ejected into space based on the previous values. Orbit is the result of gravity(presumabely). And somewhat direction.Īnd there would be no more orbit. Or as the earth might still be moving, A matter of being ejected naturally as everything leaves based on the force being exherted by the planets as gravity stops working and we all fly off in different direction. Then you might need to get down to bedrock or something sufficient that is more solid than you I'm guessing. Unless the ground stopped being a good jumping point. But you would have to expend time to get it to where you wanted based on the force you can exhert on it. Probably keep jumping in one place repeatedly until you make it. At least once the oxygen is out of the way. Wouldn't you just have to jump and have something to stop you. Space Market: Space resources are still expensive but now that they can be brought back to earth more effectively reaping profit off rare earth metals is easier. do we even use TSTO anymore? Cool thing is you can land/launch on several terrestrial planets easily now.Īlso spin launch from Earth is suddenly more effective, as a way to save propellant for launch/landing. Utility: Launch/landing is cheaper but by how much is what I want to know? SSTOs become popular. Since this is so, rockets only charge for how much time they need to reach orbit and no more. Meaning after charging you will automatically begin discharging the gravity cancellation field, since it can only be stored while charging. How long? Refined unobtanium can get you an hour at max, unrefined will only get you six minutes before you need to charge again.Ĭharging and discharging takes equal amounts of time and is done automatically. You need a planet with gravity to charge it first, far away from one it would not work.ĭischarging: Generates the gravity cancellation field until it runs out of charge. Refined unobtanium is expensive as weapons grade uranium and also allows for longer charging of gravity cancellation fields. For example, a ton of it would allow you to cancel gravity in a kilometer wide sphere of influence. Stats: The more mass of unobtanium you have the larger the gravity cancellation field you can create. Unobtanium: About as rare as uranium and just as expensive. Which can be discharged over a period of time. Scifi scenario: We have a natural unobtanium ore that when magnetized for a period of time will charge up a gravity cancellation field.
