If Earth's gravity were "turned off", what would happen?

With nothing to hold it together, it would disintegrate. The speed of disintegration would probably be quite fast (i.e., explosive) as the interior of the planet is a pressure cooker with tens of thousands of tons of pressure. Without the counter-force of gravity, that pressure would suddenly be let loose.

BTW: Will has made a good point, with only the strong and weak atomic forces, and EM force left there would be no force to aggregate mass. So all matter on Earth would suddenly be just a disaggregated collection of space dust rather than matter as an aggregated whole.

It was, after all, gravity that caused the space dust to clump together in the first place to form stars and planets. It would be as though solid Earth were suddenly turned into a big ball of dust with all that pressure built up inside. And if that ball of dust continued to have the same angular momentum (and I don't see why it wouldn't), there would still be centrifugal force from the spinning of that dust ball. Definitely, it would explode.

If gravity were turned off throughout the universe, the stars and planets would disappear to become dust. Even debris, small bits and pieces, would eventually become dust down to the molecular level when EM bonding will still have some effect. And, of course, atoms will still be atoms as the atomic forces are still around to hold them together.

Actually, we would be stretched and launched into space by centrifugal force. This would also suck everything out of the atmosphere. With this, the planet would also fly apart because we are spinning so fast and there would be nothing to hold it together.

We would float away into space either towards the sun or mars, the mantle will also make the inside literally empty as that will float away out of volcanoes and that huge hole in da atlantic. the crust will then float apart as its in different parts. An implosion may also happen ( see futurama episode for example).

If gravity unexpectedly stopped present then you definately could die very very straight away. the ambience of the Earth could burn up, leaving you to be zapped by using cosmic rays and explode from the shortcoming of rigidity (the rigidity exerted by using the ambience on you is akin to having an elephant sit down on you (in 0 rigidity)) the Earth could cease orbiting the solar, and spin off into area in case you assume in effortless terms the gravity conserving you to Earth stopped present then you definately could flow off into area as quickly as you pushed off from something linked to the Earth - by using status up working example.

Yes, the only things that would hold together would be the masses that operate with the strong and electromagnetic force. Everything would suddenly fall apart.

we would fly apart. As it is, w're rotating, spinning on an axis. Think of it this way-if you were to spin around really quickly, holding 2 balls in your hands, the balls would stay where they are because you're hands are keeping them there. If you let go of the balls, they would fly away from you because they have inertia. It's the same way with earth's gravity. The particles of earth have inertia-meaning that they resist change in velocity. You push them or pull them one way, and their inertia is going to try and keep them from moving another way. As earth rotates on its axis, the velocity of all the particles that make of earth is changing (because velocity is both speed AND direction). everything on this earth is being spun around in a circle, so velocity is always changing. Because all matter has inertia, Earth's atoms and molecules don't WANT to keep changing velocity (direction), but since Earth's gravity is really strong everything on earth HAS to change velocity (direction). If earths' gravity were "turned off", there would be nothing to overcome the inertia of earth's particles. (Remember, an object's velocity is BOTH speed and direction). Gravity has been pulling Earth in a circle around an axis, constantly changing the direction of everything on earth. But once gravity is "turned off", there is nothing to make earth's particles go around in a circle so earth will fly apart. It will fly apart because all matter on earth will just keep going in the same direction that it was going the instant gravity was turned off. It's exactly like when you spin around in a circle with something in your hands. Your hands are constantly changing the velocity of whatever you're holding, making them move around in a circle. Let go, and the stuff flies out of your hands. Same concept with gravity on Earth

We would all fly off and out into space. And yeah the planet would break up.

I think the planet would stay whole, but I think everything not attached securely would free float out into space and end up as space junk in our asteroid belt.
