Re: Weird gravity change on Australian Open Ballcourt!!!! Sharapova finds dead spot - check out the video!!!
Would that be a gravity loss, or an area of higher gravity? I would think with gravity loss the ball would bounce higher.

It's not gravity loss but the spot is absorbing the energy from the ball..


EVEN IF The energy is absorbed the ball would still bounce a little, roll or move..


It just depends how big an area was affected.

Not a problem! So, when this occurred, was it in the news, etc.? It's not some hoax, or fake, or tv commercial or anything, is it?

Re: Weird gravity change on Australian Open Ballcourt!!!! Sharapova finds dead spot - check out the video!!!
I don't understand how a heat bubble under a surface can cause a tennis ball not to bounce against that surface. WTF? Tennis ball hits object, tennis ball bounces usually.... Can someone explain how this is possible?

It's cern lhc that is destroying every part of Earth's normal matter structure and cohesiveness. Anti-matter destroys are normal matter at exponential rates. You all need to check out my thread to understand it all.

Could someone please explain how a heat bubble can increase gravity and/or stop a ball from bouncing???

Exactly. What happens in this video violates so much physics it is ridiculous. It is not merely breaking the rules of 1 physics law, it is breaking many.

Babsi, are you sure this wasn't for a commercial or something? Is it legit?

It was on the yahoo sports news on the german yahoo front page. They explained it with some heat bubble and actually made it like a funny report. I just found it on the english yahoo sports news, nope, that's not a hoax.

I'd just like to know what happened during the match and see footage of it. If you read the article Sharapova thought somebody tampered with her shoes at first, until she realized the ball doesn't bounce. Then the referee came to test it. I wish there was footage from during the match.

MAN THAT IS CRAZY! Is the heat bubble the real cause of that?! She throws it down at an angle as well, and the ball completely stops forward and all angular momentum, ALL the kinetic energy of the impact goes....somewhere. All of it (or damn close), not just a small portion.

There is no way a heat bubble could cause this. this is an EM anomaly like you have in the Bermuda triangle.

I think this is more evidence of Earth losing its natural energies and laws.

This is either magnetosphere fall out or aliens messin with the game.

That sports illustrated article did not illustrate the issue, there was no bump on the court where she threw the ball. Did you see any bump of vapor? Pollycock

I have no idea...the tennis player said she could see a bubble of some sort...it's not visible in the video. I used to play tennis and I never heard of this or ever seen this before.

I'm watching soccer now - I was thinking what if that would happen on the soccer field? What would the explanation be for that? Bubbles under the grass? LOL

Yeah, if she threw the ball down, picked it up and then tried to roll it across...and it stopped like that...wow.
