Unless you're an astronaut, you probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about gravity. What would happen if gravity switched for 10 seconds? What damage would this cause to Earth? How would effect our bodies?

It's for 10 seconds We won't think about how we build houses and the effects on rocket travel in 20 seconds (10 up and 10 down) We are all gonna be thinking "wow this is so weird I wonder why gravity is upside down, wow that's so weird it just flipped again and I'm dead"

Speaking of, why do so many planets in Star Wars have the exact same atmosphere and gravity as Earth? Is something like that even scientifically possible in real life?

Because they're movies and were made on earth? But yes definitely planets all have different gravity levels and atmospheres.

Meanwhile, the sun explodes, and every planet gets catapulted into interstellar space. Oh, and all the black holes turning themselves inside out would give the big bang a run for its money. The second it came back on the universe would be a fairly blank slate for new star formation. In conclusion, I'm voting YES on the temporary gravity flip.

@firegamer2118 Год назад

If gravity were to switch off or change for just 10 seconds, it would have catastrophic effects on our planet and everything on it. The sudden loss of gravity would cause everything not anchored to the ground to float off into space, including people, buildings, and vehicles. This could result in massive destruction and loss of life, as structures and objects would collide with each other and the environment. Furthermore, the sudden change in gravity would also have a significant impact on Earth's atmosphere, weather patterns, and ecosystems. The lack of gravity would cause the atmosphere to expand rapidly and dissipate into space, which would lead to a rapid drop in temperature and pressure on the surface. This could trigger extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. In addition, the sudden disappearance of gravity would also have a major impact on ecosystems, as plants and animals would be unable to adapt to the rapid changes in their environment. This could lead to the extinction of many species and the collapse of entire ecosystems. Fortunately, the scenario of gravity suddenly switching off or changing is highly unlikely to occur naturally. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature, and any changes to it would require a significant alteration to the laws of physics, which is currently not possible.

Gravity is a consequence of space curving around mass if you somehow turned off mass that be cool for about a pico second and then we all watch protons fall apart

If gravity was shut off everything would behave more like a ball of mush slowly moving away from itself. Everything has gravity, not just the earth. Gravity is based of mass. That is why we humans compared to the earth dont seem to have any gravity.

@iamkennethfuller327 Год назад

If gravity switched for ten seconds, wouldn’t stars start to fall and all the junk floating around the earth start plummeting down back into the earth? Now that’s scary
