  1. If there was no gravity to begin with there would be no universe - there would be no way for matter to coalesce and form stars, planets, galaxies, etc.  SInce gravity is the curvature of space-time by matter and energy, it can't just "disappear" as that would mean everything, matter and energy, in the universe would have to disappear.  Since there is no known way for that to happen, the question you've asked is really meaningless.


  2. First: Explain to me and all others, the hundreds examples of gravity anomalies, contra dictionary statements and constantly changing scientific rapports on the "gravity" subject, that really shows how little astrophysicist and cosmologists really understand the very concept of "gravity".

    And, before the scientists can avoid the numerous "Gravity" anomalies and contra dictionary scientific statements about the subject, it makes really no sense to ask the above question, as long as the scientific accepted "gravity concept" which the question are based on, not are a fully understood concept at all.

    Personally, I am of this opinion, that the Newton and Einstein "laws of gravity", relative or relatively relative, is totally misunderstood and that the very concept have been deeply wrong right from the very minute they where stated and general accepted as scientific "laws of Nature".

    Natural Laws should be easily understandable, easily explained and easily recognizable as cosmological and logical examples of natural phenomenons on the Earth and in the Sky.

    And first of all: They should not contains anomalies and contradictions.

  3. Then there will be no more objects. Gravity exists where mass exists, and so space would be empty, or there will be no more space at all.

  4. You say "when" as though this is guaranteed to happen.  I'm not sure that is the case, but, seeing how I do indeed lack infinite knowledge, I'll try to explain my understanding of what would happen "if" such a thing occurred.

    If this were to happen...  every "thing" would move in this exact direction it was moving at the instant gravity stopped.  Earth would "fly" off in a tangent, and all objects orbiting the sun would stop their orbits, and drift off in whatever direction they were heading.

    Anything not locked in place to the surface of these massive bodies, would also "fly off" of where they were, based on orbital and rotational trajectories based on when this were to happen.

    I'm not sure how individual molecules would behave, however.  some chemical bonds might be able to exist in a universe without gravity, so our atoms might not break apart, but our molecules might.

  5. The universal law of gravitation states that every body attracts every other body. so as long as everything has mass, nothing is ought to happen. But just to simulate, i would say that the entire existence would be a mess. stars will explode, (because there is a delicate balance between star's internal force and its gravity, in other words, the hydrostatic equiblirium will fail). every moving body in the universe will keep on moving, UNTILL THEY REACH THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. (because there will be no frictional force to stop the moving bodies). black holes would not exist.

    We will not be in earth anymore... we will be plunged out tangentially out of the earth into outer space. even if we die, our bodies will keep on moving to infinity. if there was no gravity, the laws of physics would have been completely different (allthough no one will be there to asses them!).

    the entire universe will be a chaos. the universe will will replicate its parallel universe, that is, it would not exists anymore.

    There are whole lots of things to tell about this, but i'm running out of time.  

  6. If all gravity disappear, then there will be no day and night as earth will leave its orbit.

    We all shall be thrown out in space due to centrifuge that is produced by rotation of earth.

    You will not be able to see any star in the sky as the expansion of universe will become more rapid due to no gravity condition. The universe will become more a lonely and dark place to live.

    There will be no galaxy, no solar system, no BLACK HOLES at all.

    And of course the General Relativity will get failed.

    Today General Relativity fails in explaining the birth of universe. So you can say, we will reach the initial point of everything when there will be no gravity.

  7. It can be argued that without gravity there would simply be no space and no time. General relativity can be interpreted as showing that space and time are manifestations of gravity:

  8. Gravity doesn't disappear. It is a property of matter. As long as the objects have mass, they will exert gravity.

    If you mean "what would happen if the gravity disappeared", then:

    1. Planets and would have nothing to hold them together so they would gradually drift apart.

    2. Stars would explode from internal pressure which at the moment is held in check by gravity.

    3. All objects in orbit would stop orbiting and continue in straight lines in whatever direction they are going at the moment.

  9. the universe disappears

  10. nothing bro

    it will never happen

  11. Every celestial body would lose structural integrity, suns would expand and burn out, black holes would release all their compacted matter, planets would lose their atmosphere and the universe would pretty much fall apart.

    Without anything to trigger coalescence of matter, the universe would become a 'sea' of atoms and subatomic particles as collisions cause debris to break down.

  12. Modern physics describes gravitation using the general theory of relativity. Newton's law of universal gravitation provides an excellent approximation for most calculations."Gravitation" is a general term describing the proportionate, attractive influence that all objects with mass exert upon one another; "gravity" refers to the force that is supposed in some theories (such as Newton's) to be the cause of this attraction. Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of physics responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth, for the formation of tides; for convection (by which hot fluids rise); for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena that we observe. By contrast, in general relativity gravitation is due to spacetime curvatures which cause inertially moving objects to accelerate towards each other..............to make that disapear...I realy realy dont think so..............

  13. stars and glaxies in the universe will break off and wander around in the universe on their own however i dont think there will be collision and the universe is too big....haha

  14. The theory of reality takes over, there are many answers we don't know eg does dark matter exist? and do objects like the earth pass through the make up of the universe/ or does matter displace space itself? how do we know we exist?

    Space exploration hs not even started yet.
