Can we live on Earth without gravity?

Answer

No, life as we know it cannot exist without gravity. Gravity is essential for: planetary formation (without it, matter wouldn't coalesce into planets), atmospheric retention (gases would escape to space), water distribution (oceans and rivers depend on gravity), biological processes (blood circulation, digestion, bone/muscle development), orbital mechanics (Earth wouldn't orbit the Sun), and star formation (gravity creates the pressure for nuclear fusion). The entire structure of our universe depends on gravitational attraction.
