How about an earth with zero gravity to live in?

Can you imagine a world you live in without gravity? How far will it affect our life? Assume that we are going to have zero gravity on earth from tomorrow on. What will happen? How do you feel this will affect our life styles?

Oops!... I am actually a BS Applied Physics and zero gravity on Earth is actually physically impossible. Any object that has mass exerts a gravitational force on all masses around it. Actually, gravitation is an interaction of two (or more objects) causing them to "attract" each other. Basically, there is also no such thing as "zero" gravity. "Zero" gravity in a space ship or on the satellites of earth is actually "virtual". This means that you appear to be floating inside the ship (weightlessness) because BOTH YOU AND THE SHIP ARE FALLING ON THE EARTH. However, since the EARTH IS SPHERICAL, then you don't actually "fall" on the surface but then "orbit" the Earth. Well, if it was indeed so fantastic and there was zero gravity, then all of us here on earth would eventually be thrown into space including the oceans of earth and it's atmosphere.

It would be very fun, and i cant wait for that to happen.. lol =D It's something which we can never experience, and that we should cherish the chance if it really happens.. lol =D Imagine the changes we have to go thru, re-learn all the stuff from scratch, it's just so much of fun ^_^ hehe =D Though life style will have great changes, but we have no choice but to accept it.. For, there's nothing we can do about it.. haha

That would be terrible in alot of ways LOL. I would hate to be floating around in the air. I think it would be neat to have that option though.

I can't imagine such a world. I think the effect is great.

simple things would be difficult. for instance taking a bath, i guess it would take hours to finish coz the water falls in slow motion. if ever that would happend i would get dizzy all the time. wheeew! haha, cheers!!

I think that we will have to evolve first into a tough being. Seeing astronauts moving in space without gravity, I think it most have been hard. I can see they can move fast using the booster at their back(am I right). Anyway, m not an astronaut so I never knew that feeling.
