What would happen to you if gravity stopped working?
Gravity is a natural phenomenon by
which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one
another, including planets, stars, and galaxies. We have all experienced the
force of gravity. If you jump up into the air,
you will fall right back down to the ground. But what if we
could switch gravity off? Physics is adamant that this could never actually
happen. But that has not stopped people exploring the idea. Jay Buckey, a
physician, and one-time NASA astronaut says that our bodies are adapted to an
Earth-like gravitational environment. If we spend time living where gravity is
different, such as on board a space station, our bodies change.
It is now an established fact that
astronauts lose bone mass and muscle strength during stints in space, and their
sense of balance changes. An absence of gravity brings other problems. For
reasons not entirely clear, our red blood cell count falls, bringing on a form
of "space anemia". Wounds take longer to heal and the immune system
loses its strength and your sleep
will get disturbed if gravity is weak or absent.
Jay Buckey points to an experiment
in which a cat grew up with one eye permanently hidden behind an eyepatch. The
cat was rendered blind in the eye as a result. so If the gravity had been around, the cat would have
grown perfectly. It seems likely that the rest of our bodies
would respond similarly. If gravity
not around for our hearts, muscles, and bones to respond to, our organs will
almost certainly develop in different ways. That said, if gravity did get switched off, we would have more
pressing things to worry about than the long-term effects on human development.
the immediate physical consequences of losing gravity are that Earth is
rotating at high speed, rather like the way a weight on a string rotates if you
spin it around your head.
Things not attached to the Earth in
any other way would fly off into space in a straight line that would take them
away from the surface of the Earth. Anyone unfortunate enough to be outside at
the time would quickly be lost. People inside buildings would be safer because
most buildings are so firmly rooted to the ground that they would stay put even
without gravity – at least for a while. Anything else not nailed down would
also float off. Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, rivers, and lakes would be
one of the first things to drift away into space. A similar fate would befall the
Sun. If the force of gravity didn’t
hold it together, the intense pressures would cause it to burst open in a
titanic explosion.
The same thing would happen to all
the other stars in the Universe. However, because they are so far away, it
would be years before the light from their death throes reached you. Eventually, If that thing had happened, the Universe wouldn’t have
had the stars or planets. There would just be a diffuse soup of
atoms and molecules, drifting around not doing anything much.
