How do you detect gravity?

In: Human Anatomy, Human Physiology [Edit categories]

Answer:

Gravity has never been detected. It remains one of the mysteries of physics because no wave or particle has ever been detected, but all indications are that it must exist. One of the reasons that is is not detectable is because it is like a quiet pond where all the water is still, because everything is in such close balance in the Universe. If you drop a pebble in the pond, you will see the pebble and the ripples. Scientists have not yet been able to see a 'pebble' or 'ripple' in the pond that is called the force of gravity; one of the four basic forces in the universe along with the weak force, the strong force, and the electromagnetic force.

ya know what, i think you can detect it. hold up an apple and let go. if it falls, there is gravity

Roots grow down and stems grow up in response to gravity (statoliths)
What is gravity and how does it afect gravity?
The force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth. The formula for gravity is g=9.8m/s^2
Are gravity and no gravity alike?
They are similar, in that one is the absence of the other. However, they are not opposites, so they could not be considered 'alike'.

The gravity on earth is 9.8m/s^2 I believe the gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s^2
When did you say that the zero gravity is no gravity?
Depends on the atmosphere. location, place, space and time of zero gravity
