MC22 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 In TF2 a sv_gravity of negative anything gives the conditions that one stays on the ground firmly until once your feet leave the ground (by jump or downwards stairs) you float up until you hit the ceiling. Is there any gravity model where such conditions are possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Salesman Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I wouldn't think so, as any body with mass automatically pulls objects towards it, not pushes them away... If a body was small enough an object could theoretically float, but not automatically be repelled from the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiated Banana Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 As far as we know, no. But there are certain theories. u can google it EDIT: I think there is also a scifi novela called "A Tale of Negative Gravity" or smthin like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I doubt it. Gravity essentially holds our everything together. If it was negative, RIP galaxy, sun, solar system, and the earth would probably push itself apart. As far as the actual "are such conditions possible"... not in our universe. Gravity is a fundamental property of our matter, and we probably cannot change this. Other universes? Possible, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 What if normal gravity pushes objects away, but we are the ones with negative gravity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpiro Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 What if normal gravity pushes objects away, but we are the ones with negative gravity? No, we have defined gravity as pulling. If we change the definition then maybe, but that contradicts the very meaning of gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
