Since I received such great feedback on last week's What If Creative Blog post. I thought I would do another one based on an article I read about the existence of gravity . Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of nature. It's what keeps us grounded, what makes things fall, and what holds planets and stars in place. Without it, the world as we know it would cease to exist in the way we understand it. Now the big question is ‘What If’ gravity never existed and explore the potential consequences.
No Grounded Life
I am no scientist but in my own opinion what I think would happen is the most immediate and noticeable consequence would be the complete absence of weight. Humans, animals, buildings, and even the oceans would no longer be bound to the Earth’s surface. Instead, everything would float freely, drifting aimlessly in space. Without gravity, we wouldn't be able to walk, run, or stand. Human bodies would float in the air, with no natural anchor to the ground. Any attempt to move would result in us floating away unless we grabbed onto something. Essentially, the idea of "walking" as we know it would be impossible.
Earth's Orbit and the Solar System
Gravity is also the reason that the Earth orbits the Sun. Without gravity, Earth would not be tethered to the Sun, and would drift away into space, along with the other planets. The entire solar system would collapse. “The Sun’s gravity is what keeps all the planets, moons, and asteroids in orbit. Without gravity, Earth would stop orbiting the Sun and would drift off into the cosmos, lost and unprotected from the harmful radiation of the Sun”.
No Tides, No Seasons
Tides on Earth are the result of the Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth’s oceans. Without gravity, there would be no tides. Also earth's tilt and its orbit around the Sun are responsible for the changing seasons. If gravity didn’t exist, Earth would likely be unable to maintain a stable orbit. The regular patterns of day and night, summer and winter, would be destroyed, making life even more unpredictable.
And we would all be dead and cease to exist!!!
