ANTI-GRAVITY(Does it exist???)
| 
Mar 4 23:12 UTC 2000 |
I recntly heard about the concept of anti-gravity and that it exists in
reality in some place in the USA.(i'm from india). Does this concept really
exist and does such a place exist in the USA where , if u place a ball at the
bottom of an inclined plane it rolls upwards? I really would like to know the
answer to this and everybody's views on the concept of anti-gravity.

I live in the US, and have never heard of such a thing. The concept of
anti-gravity is kind of funny though. Picture the earth spining, because its
spinning everything on it is held to the ground, if an object were to stop
a planet or large mass in space. So, dont belive everything you hear :)
later man, stay cool

spinning everything on it is held to the ground, if an object were to stop
being held to the ground the object would fly off into space at about the
speed of 20,000km a second. the only real way that i belive you can obtain
antigravity is if your in a place that isnt neer a planet or large mass in
space. So, dont belive everything you hear :)

There is a place called "gravity hill" somewhere around Somerset, PA.
There is a photo at http://www.tommywatson.com/gravity/ghinroad.jpg the
cars in the picture are actually rolling toward the camera, it looks and
feels amazing! But we figured out that it's just an optical illusion
due to the way the road is cut into the hillside.

I remember a place in California where myself and my cusin went. it was like
an optical ilusion themepark. One trice he and i particapated in was where
this rock was slanted to one side and balanced over another rock like a
tetertotter. I am much taller then my cusin, so i was placed on the side that
was raised in the air, and he on the other side, the onlokers then claimed
that he appearewd taller then me somehow. To this day, i have not seen this
trick or been able to explain how it worked. If anyone knows, please tell me.

I live near a theme park in Lingoneir, PA which I went to last summer. One
attraction was called Confusion Hill. We walked through it but it was tilted
in such a way that the water appeared to flow uphill and you could sit
perfectly normally in a chair freely resting on a wall. When you see something
that looks like anti-gravity or something, it is usually a vrey complex
optical illusion. (Still pretty cool, though.)

Though there is no such place where gravity does not exist on earth. It would
be cool if there was.

there is a place on earth where there is no gravity: the center of the earth.
there the earth's mass is pulling evenly on all sides, so it cancels itself
out.

There is a place near Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada where a visitor is
invited to drive his car to a certain place on a road which appears to go
uphill. There he stops, turns off the engine and releases the brakes. The car
then proceeds to roll forward, seemingly uphill. I have been there. It is a
really uncanny feeling. From a distance, the road can be observed to slope
downhill at the indicated spot, and a person standing outside the car has no
illusion, but when in the car, one seems to be rolling uphill.
There are a number of other places where similar illusions may be observed.
Does anyone know about a place called the "Witchita Vortex?" I have heard of
it, but know nothing about it.
