We don't know of any instances of life which developed "without gravity", whatever that means, since an object interacts with itself gravitationally. What would such a form of life look like? We don't know the full role gravity plays in the formation of life.
- atoav 7y agoMy intuition as somebody who worked in VFX with self affecting gravity and spent some time looking at simulations would be that self-effects are usually too small to really play a role in environments where all other forces are many magnitudes bigger. But intuitions are often wrong, which is why looking at things in a micro gravity environment makes sense. This is why we do weak gravity experiments in the ISS right?
- soulofmischief 7y agoYep, all I'm saying is it's necessary at some point to do experiments around this to further our understanding.
