zero gravity

Are you talking about the case when two sources of gravity exactly cancel out each other?

 

I'm aware of 2 instances of this in nature:

 

The 1st is what we call the langrange points between any 2 orbiting bodies. At the 5 lagrange points the gravity of the 2 bodies neutralizes and allows anyone at this point to stay relatively at rest without falling towards either body.

 

The 2nd is theoretical in that I think it would only work in a planet-sized hollowed-out sphere. If you were within such a sphere, the gravitational faces exerted by it's inner arc should cancel out exact, leaving you free-floating.

 

Regarding your question, I don't think there would be any difference between a space where gravitational forces neutralize one another and a place where there is no gravity at all.

Yes the person wouldn't feel anything.

 

In the case of a person in orbit (feeling of weightlessness) vs a person under 0 net acceleration from gravity are different. A human dies under 0 gravity I believe, especially adults. Either instantly due to blood over-rushing to brain and oxygen delivery problems or a slow death from indigestion due to severe endless dizziness.

Do you have any kind of citation for this piece of nonsense?

The astronauts who went to the moon seem to have survived.

These are symptoms of zero atmospheric pressure,not zero gravity.
