Some sort of "force" would have to be created to do that. In 1986, in a mineshaft in Australia, scientists thought that the gravity recorded did not follow Newton's inverse square law. If this were true then they might well have been on the track of a fifth force which defies gravity. Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and other locations have tested the theory by measuring gravity from a submersible moving through 5 kilometers of water along the California coast. The participating scientists determined that the experiments recorded the gravitational constant G to an accuracy of 2 parts in 1,000. No signs of a fifth force were found. However, the experiments were not able to test for the force over great distances. If a fifth force did exist and show itself over 1,000 meters, the measurements should have differed from those several kilometers above the seafloor - a distance perhaps out of range of a theorized fifth force. No appreciable variation was found. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
