by quantise i mean measure. you could trial and error on it i suppose, but with something as advanced as anti gravity you'd want your figures to be correct. my point is pretty simplistic. force x plus force -x = zero. I'm not familiar with the mathematics behind anti-particles and the intangible white hole... i'm simply advocating a push to cancel the pull.

strong force, that's the one.

and unless you can just turn gravity off, you would have to quantise it in order to produce the appropriate opposing force.

all you need is a unified force pushing you away from the earth at 9.8m/s^2. air jets could work on a very basic level, but you'll still have the aerodynamics to worry about, so it wouldn't be a perfect "weightless room" (I assume that's what we're going for here). you could theoretically acheive it with a magnetic suit and an electromagnetic floor, but there's nothing to stop that from flipping you over and gluing your head to the ground. What it would take is a force that consistantly pushes all matter away from it placed between you and the body of gravity. An equal force would make you weightless. Such a force exists on the molecular level (the name of it escapes me) but i'm not sure we've quite harnessed that one yet.
