China builds an artificial moon on Earth that can make gravity disappear

China has built an artificial low-gravity research facility where the gravity can be controlled with the use of powerful magnets by scientists to such low levels that it can successfully simulate the moon’s gravity.

As per Li Ruilin of the China University of Mining and Technology, the low-gravity research facility, which will be officially launched in the coming months, can make the gravity disappear in an effect that can ‘last as long as you want’. Ruilin also added that the chamber is the first of its kind in the world and it will be filled with dust and rocks to simulate the lunar surface.
