When he was younger he had threatened to burn the house down with his mother and his step-father in it. Described as artificial, unkind, arrogant, he was one of the most brilliant minds of his or any other generation. There are few more famous legends in the whole history of science than that of Newton in the orchard. A moment of genius when the young Isaac Newton first worked out a comprehensive theory of gravity. Michael Mosley, The Story of Science, BBC 2010
His monumental work explaining that gravity held the universe together was published in 1687: Philosphiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. ibid.
Gravity is by far the weakest force in the universe ... The more massive, the greater is the gravitational force ... Professor Brian Cox, Wonders of the Solar System s1e3: The Thin Blue Line, BBC 2010
Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of Nature. It exists between all objects. And the effects of the gravitational field extend way beyond the planet that creates it. Gravity is by far the weakest force of Nature. But it is the only force that has an influence across the entire solar system. Brian Cox, Wonders of the Solar System s1e4: Dead or Alive,
The force at the heart of this story is Gravity. This fundamental force of Nature built everything we see. Brian Cox, Wonders of the Universe s1e3: Falling, BBC 2011
He [Newton] said this: Gravity is a force of attraction between all objects. ibid.
In a sense Gravity isn’t really a force at all. ibid.
The new theory – called General Relativity – was published in 1915 by Albert Einstein after ten years of work. And it stands to this day as one of the great achievements in the history of Physics. ibid.
Everything in the universe is falling through Space/Time. ibid.
Gravity: our understanding of it has been transformed by recent discoveries … about the nature of gravity and the way it behaves. And how this relates to the origin of the universe. Brian Cox’s Adventures in Space & Time, BBC 2021
Newton believed that gravity is a force that acts throughout the entire universe. ibid.
I defy gravity. Marilyn Monroe
From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free. Jacques Yves Cousteau
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming. Wernher von Braun
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. Wernher von Braun
Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light. Roy H Williams
Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn’t like them too much, but they’ve got a big benefit, which is that the ability of string theory to describe all the elementary particles and their forces along with gravity depends on using the extra dimensions. Edward Witten
The original project began because we know the universe is expanding. Everybody had assumed that gravity would slow down the expansion of the universe and everything would come to a halt and collapse. The big surprise was it was actually speeding up. Saul Perlmutter
This is a stellar nursery. A place where stars are born. They condense by gravity from gas and dust until their temperatures become so high that they begin to shine. Such clouds mark the birth of stars as others bear witness to their deaths. Carl Sagan & Ann Druyan, Cosmos: The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean, PBS 1980
The most massive stars are able to fuse heavier and heavier elements in a series of layers. Seven Ages of Starlight, BBC 2012
Gravity compresses the Sun making it heat up inside: the particles move faster and the nuclear fusion proceeds at a more rapid rate. That produces an outward pressure that makes the Sun expand and cool back down again. Ken Lang, author
It’s so big you could fit a million Earths inside it. It’s so heavy its gravity controls the entire solar system. Journey to the Edge of the Universe, Discovery 2008
At the nuclear heart it’s seventeen million degrees ... Massive filaments, loops of gas arching up over the surface ... Prominences: they curve up big enough to girdle the Earth ... Yet there’s a force that stops itself blowing itself to pieces: gravity. It’s strong enough to keep the nuclear monster in check. Our Secret Sun, Discovery 2012
Pressure at the core will drop as the fuel is burnt. This lower pressure will no longer hold the forces of gravity at bay. Gravity will compress the core, heating the hydrogen more and making the fuel burn even faster. This will increase the pressure coming from the core. The two forces will balance once again. Death of the Sun, 2006
The gravitational force of the moon creates a bulge of water in the oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth it drags this bulge around the planet creating high and low tides. Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Do We Really Need the Moon? BBC 2011
How were they able to design a craft on Earth that would perform so well under quite different conditions on the moon, namely, in a vacuum in one sixth gravity without killing anyone? Apollo Zero, 2009
Whistleblowers such as Stan Deyo, Dr Edward Teller, they were looking at anti-gravity propulsion. Richplanet TV with Andrew Johnson checktheevidence online, Showcase 2
Anti-Gravitation: Many flying saucer-shaped craft are reported to have a rotating outer ring; some have two counter-rotating rings. Richard D Hall, Richplanet online: UFOs II
Massive acceleration and speed, a large electric field, a glowing aura caused by the electric field, and totally silent operation. ibid.
The magnetic field disrupter generates a magnetic vortex field which disrupts or neutralises the effects of gravity en masse. ibid.
Dan Sherman testimony: Anti-Gravity secret space programme ... Edgar Fouche & Stan Deyo whistleblowers: Anti-Gravity secret space programme … Fouche disclosed information about a craft – secret craft – called the TR-3B. Richard D Hall, Richplanet: Western Super Mare 23rd June 2011
Newton had conceived the idea of a universal gravitation in the plague year of 1666. Jacob Bronowski, The Ascent of Man 7/13: The Majestic Clockwork, BBC 1973
We can establish through this testimony that these objects of extraterrestrial origin have been tracked on radar going thousands of miles per hour, stopping and making right-hand turns. That they use anti-gravity propulsion which we had already figured out how they work. Extraterrestrial life-forms have been retrieved, and their vehicles have been taken and studied thoroughly for at least fifty years. Dr Stephen Greer
Today we cannot produce machines that fly the same as UFOs do. They are flying by means of artificial fields of gravity. This would explain the sudden changes of direction ... We cannot take credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone. We have been helped. And we have been helped by the people of other worlds. Dr Hermann Oberth, NASA Chief of Astronautics, 1972
A gravitational force-field: this must be exactly how the alien inertia-canceller works. UFO Files 1/2: Alien Engineering, History 2004
To decipher the propulsion system – our experts believe it’s either a force-field generator or an anti-gravity drive. ibid.
Since gravity bends space the aliens might be utilizing that phenomenon to jet across the galaxy. ibid.
