What will be our home then? How do we live in such scenario? May be we wouldn't have a feet after all... Or will be just like giant meat balls floating in the air.. HHHmmmmmmmmmm....What do you think? Is it possible for us to survive?^_^

I am a little confused. Are we talking about law of gravity or gravity itself? If you mean there was no law of gravity then it would mean gravity would not be acting in a fixed way but would have random effect on different bodies. Well Thats a scenario which would be very very difficult to imagine. One apple would have fallen to earth while the other apple from the same tree would have floated of away from the ground. I guess Newton would have got the biggest shock of his life watching that.
Now, if you are saying that if there were no gravity at all.....well in that case there would have been no life on earth. If you believe in the theory of evolution then you would know that life first started in the primordial pool. If there were no gravity there would be no primordial pool as all matter would not come down and setttle on the earth surface. But even before talking about that we need to understand its the gravity that keeps earth in the orbit around sun. So without gravity even earth would not be there. All huge heavenly bodies like planets, sattelites, stars etc are more or less sphere shaped. The reason for that is their self gravity. Without gravity the whole universe would look very very different. Musc different than what our little brains could imagine.
