I've wonderered if you were suddenly able to pop into a part of the universe with 0 gravity. No dark matter/energy/gravity/etc. If you could do that would you then collapse into a black hole and possible create a big bang yourself?
Well, that depends on if gravity is a function of smaller forces. I'm pretty rusty on my theoretical physics - and even my mom (PhD in this stuff) hasn't worked in the field in years. Is gravity a force that exists independently of the forces that hold atoms together (electromagnetic, weak/strong forces, etc.), or are they interrelated?



TWF... the only place where a thread can go from talking about a dude skydiving to talking about deep space and gravitational forces.
