I’d heard tell that there are some meta-material related discoveries that may be able to affect how gravity interacts with an object. A big maybe, but perhaps if a new field of gravity related science is unlocked we will be able to make that maybe more likely... they have already figured out how to make a type of…

It can definitely cause damage to public confidence and perception of a field and science as a whole. How many times have new outlets released preliminary findings from a psychological study that hasn’t even been replicated once yet and it turns out to be bupkis? The scientists were well aware that they needed to do…

While it would not envelop Earth in an asymmetrical way precisely, you could in theory have different levels of gravitational pull affecting the planet. If they were intense enough to cause significant temporal differences at different points on the planet I would expect massive quakes, changes to the tilt of the…
