Antigravitate

/ˌæntiˈɡrævɪteɪt/ verb

Definition

To counteract, oppose, or neutralize the effects of gravity; to move in a way that resists or defies gravitational pull.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + gravitate (to move toward, influenced by gravity). A rare scientific term used speculatively in physics to describe hypothetical antigravity effects.

Kelly Says

While we can't actually antigravitate yet, studying gravity's opposite revealed something wild: dark energy might be pushing the universe apart faster than gravity pulls it together!
