Is it possible to use the coulombs force to simulate gravity in a spacecraft since humans can be charged?

04 April 2016 1 514 Report

I read that human beings always get charged, then can't we create an opposite or like charge to pull or push on the human and simulate gravity?

Ferdinand Wilhelm, Markus Haag

I think it could be possible... but there are some certain problems... - it wouldnt be a "real" gravity - so more like magnets on a wall.

therefore don't believe that it would be suitable or at least less suitable than other methods generating gravity.

Will light from a given source reach a more massive Body quicker than to a less massive Body due to it's strong gravity?

A more massive body will apply a stronger pull on a photon than a less massive body. Is this correct?

Do atoms of White and coloured bodies contain more energy than atoms of Black bodies?

White and coloured bodies have enough energy so reflect out excess while Black bodies have low energy and so have enough room to absorb all and reflect no light. Is my hypothesis correct?

Can We increase the electrical conductivity of a material by adding electrons to it or basically negatively charging it?

If We could charge it so highly We could get a superconductor. Even insulators like paper will be able to conduct electricity after being charged. Is this idea of mine possible?
