Personally I never liked gravity or many of its effects and I am all for repealing the law entirely and passing something new. In part this would enable one to ascend stairs without tiring and save on gas when one is rolling up hills and the like. Eventually we could do away with fuels entirely as we would just roll downhill wherever we went. If most places are partly up hill, and partly downhill, then a friction free vehicle should in theory save at least half the gas, or perhaps ascend the next hill with the speed one get going down the last one. The engineers just aren't trying hard enough to get the most out of that. It may be that General Motors has all the patents locked up.
It appears economies can do this, or at least go up forever as man progresses, so one-way action appears inevitable in time. I am sure it could be achieved, since there is no resistance except gravity and friction in most places, all one would have to do is do away with both and then could go as fast as one liked.
Newton's other law, concerning mass and acceleration needs another look too. If congress would ratify that, for the purposes of acceleration to a suitable speed, mass and opposing friction were effectively zero, then I am sure that most travel would be a lot more convenient.
There was one law I used to wonder about. The law of conservation of momentum. Apparently right now, most authorities say it does not need adherence in every plane at once. This would explain how I was able to go most places in a canoe by merely swinging a weight about my head. I tried this idea out on some scientists, but they insisted that I was gunnel-bobbing or such like, which achieves good speed forward by simply bouncing the rear end of the craft into the water. The craft will sink forward, rise up and fall forward due to pressure in one direction preponderating.) In fact, all I did was swing the weight. No bobbing. (The weight may have departed a horizontal plane for a tad though, and speed was slow.) Try this yourself. Stand sideways in a light boat. Shift your weight suddenly backward, stop and ease back, the effect is the same. (The canoe goes in the direction you want.) Still the experts say, such a principle is impossible for space travel. A self contained momentum engine. Or is it? Is it possible to transfer one plane of a reaction to some other plane for half the rotation and achieve unidirectional momentum? I have seen designs that purport to do it, and from my canoe experience, I would say it is. Perhaps Newtons law of equal an opposite reactions is still preserved. But it might be bent a bit.
One last thing I have observed. Gravity actually works. I tried it and it's like clockwork. Things fall with great speed and regularity. You could probably use this principle for something if one put one's mind to it.
