Reversal!

[Katherine Kerensky]

-All Hail Britannia Snip-

Wait, are you lying under your bed with a laptop? 0.o

Nah, I still need to get a laptop, so I am currently on my PC.
Which is under my bed.
Not enough space in my bedroom for it not to be >.>

 

[Souplex]

A lot of my stuff would break, but I'd be fine. Plus I wouldn't be stuck on the ground floor with noisy upstairs neighbors.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

If my basement would stay in one piece then I would be very well off thanks to a electric outlet the previous owner installed on the ceiling (no lie. Basically would be life as normal.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I would be more worried about all the oxygen floating off into space to be honest.

I don't think oxygen is affected by gravity, seeing as it isn't stuck to the ground and such.
I'm probably wrong though, but I felt like saying it all the same.
Seems it is.
Seems I am.

New thing learned, moving on.

All things with mass are affected by gravity. The only reason for the buoyancy of helium and whatnot is because it's lighter than the stuff around it. It's like when you mix two liquids together and the lighter one rises to the top while the heavier one forms the bottom.

Ohhh, is it a bed like this?

Silly me >.<

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'd be sitting on my ceiling with a confused look while listening to all the screaming people outside as they fall into the stratosphere.

Then I'd probably check if my TV and PC are still okay.

So... would the reversal make it where the heavier goes to the top and the lighter goes to the bottom?

 

[Tharwen]

Bits of the roof might dig into my side a little, but I'd be fine.
Then again:

force everything away from it

That would mean my house would be forced away too, and that would be bad.
So worse case scenario, we all die.

Hmmm... well, we'll have to balance this somehow. Houses are now strong enough to survive!

It is affected by it. It just spreads out enough to fill the area around the planet fairly evenly.

Exactly how intense is this force? Are we talking 'zero' gravity where we float to the roof gently, or the equal force of gravity as it is, but reversed? Because then i'd be falling 3 metres and landing on my head. Which would likely kill me. And there is little discussion value in that, i'm sorry to say.

It's equal, but in the other direction.

In C#:

void ReverseGravity
{
Earth.Gravity = new GravitationalField(Earth.Gravity * -1)
}

-Snip-

Good to know, and I've already gotten the jist of the Oxygen thingy, so now I shall ask questions based on blunt observations.

 

[RanD00M]

I would fall onto my ceiling, and possibly break my neck. But other than that, I'm good.

 

[imnot]

Id just bump lightly into the cieling.
I guess worst case scenario is that I go through said cieling and then the roof and then get sucked into space.

 

[AfroTree]

be pushed into the ceiling and stuck between my bed..

fuck

 

[Evilsanta]

Stuck to the celling. But i have my trusty GBA with Pokemon: Fire Red so i wouldnt get bored.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I'd suffocate because the atmosphere would be undone.

 

[Mr Shrike]

I imagine it would like living in a snow globe after a few days...

I think I would be OK, though. I'm in the loft ^_^

 

[Outright Villainy]

So worse case scenario, we all die.

It's pretty much a certainty. The earth revolves around the sun due to gravitational attraction. The sun also doesn't expand from heat pressure due to gravity. We'd spin off from the sun and freeze to death, whilst the sun would eject all its material. The Earth would also disintergrate.

 

[the December King]

I guess I'd plummet to the cieling of the office, and hopefully avoid my monitor, computer and glass desk.

Then I guess I'd sit in a stupor, listening to screams, groans, complaints and the inevitable sound of water piddling from the toilets, until the foundations of the office building gave way with several hideous grinding sounds, and perhaps an inhuman groan of twisting metal, hurtling the building off into space, probably in chunks.

 

[Gingernerd]

I am just laughing at how amazing it would be. This thread has really made my day. It reminds me of the vortex world in Shin Megami Tensei III where the sun if in the centre of the sky and the land is pointing inwards on it's self.

you'd need ropes or something connecting houses and some sort of indoor tunnel for long distance transports.

What about flying? what's the opposite of an aeroplane? oh no! all those poor birds! i guess nature would be pretty screwed,

The ocean would rise and become the sky, Instead of looking at stars you'd be looking at an aquarium of deep sea creatures. "Don't fall up into the sea!"

 

[teutonicman]

If gravity made a complete reverse. I'd probably be in rough shape and/or dead. As there is roughly 6 feet that I would fall (rise?) and I would then hit the ceiling with my head. Also all electronics in my room (big tv, consoles) would likely be destroyed as well.
