These quantum jumps can test Newton's theory of gravity - and any variations from it - with unprecedented precision.
The hope is that by making very exacting measurements, it will be possible to see gravity--and "dark energy"--at work.
The complement of special moves is also spectacular, with a level of variation that makes almost any gravity-defying trick possible.
Blahnik has been designing shoes since 1971, but became a household name when Carrie Bradshaw swooned over his gravity-defying stilettos.
Purdue scientists say their gravity-driven cooling system would keep working by itself, even if operators walked away during an accident.

Those gravity-defying levees, along with pumping stations designed to move water away from the center of the Earth, kept the city pretty darn dry.
And for those who know the tale, this gravity-defying, wondrous landscape retains a sense of bittersweet beauty, a faultless paradise somehow infused with lost love.
The ride up was gravity-defying, the ride down sudden and scary.
The gravity-based system responded as it was designed to, circulating water and steam in a continuous loop to keep the scale-model reactor at a safe temperature automatically.

But Cheney's predictably over-the-top comments reminded those same Americans that he has no peer in politicizing issues of gravity--and they made Obama look that much more grown-up by comparison.
And dark energy may turn out to be almost the mirror opposite of gravity - a repulsive rather than an attractive force, and one that strengthens with distance rather than weakening.
These politicians tend to rely heavily on the support of unionized public-sector workers and almost always repay the favor by lavishing those same workers with a gravity-defying upward spiral of ever-increasing pay and benefits.
FORBES: What Explains The Middle-Class Black Exodus From The Northeast?
Still, given the unpopularity of the Republicans and the historic low ratings of George W. Bush, McCain's gravity-defying poll numbers are about more than a few tough ads and one badly timed vacation.
In a culture that encourages the constant search for the limits of human achievement, we, the fans, the consumers of popular sports entertainment, revel in record-breaking, gravity-defying, barely believable feats on the field of play.
Its free roster of dance, theatre, music and visual art performances includes the Garden, a gravity-defying piece of outdoor theatre from the British disabled theatre company Graeae and the Australia-based company Strange Fruit.
Most crops in the region are sown and harvested by hand, including the small plots that dot the gravity-challenging mountain sides, and farm machinery is a rare sight, with villagers using donkeys, oxen and bulls to plough the crops.
More than 1, 500 historic buildings dot the downtown area, and because the city was built atop a drained lake bed, some edifices , like the gravity-defying Ex-Teresa museum, a former 17th-century convent, are teetering like there is no tomorrow.
The lightweight plastic and carbon fiber robot, which is the newest member of a supposed zoo of animal-inspired devices from CMU's NanoRobotics Lab, owes its gravity-defying skills to research done by Harvard University biologists on the basilisk, or Jesus, lizard.
Experiments currently being undertaken at Stanford, and also by John Price, a physicist at the University of Colorado, will measure the force of gravity over a distance of less than a millimetre (the size of loop expected if there are only two extra gravity-swallowing dimensions).
Davis and his sister, Bethie, had been entranced since infancy by this figure, by its bulbous, ghostly white space suit, its forever-unseen face behind the glistening visor of its helmet, its suggestion that perhaps within the interior of the McDonald's there existed some secret gravity-free realm.
But something seems to have worried them, and they will now be reading the runes of a summit that ended with an unprecedented decision to cut EU spending, trying to evaluate whether this is a one-off or a symptom of a more troubling shift in Europe's centre of gravity - a move in a more sceptic direction.
In fact, the whole resort is quite simplistic in design, if you look past its gravity-defying guest room wings: basic wooden slats are placed in straight or diagonal stripes, poured concrete provides dividers between the expansive living areas and dining room, every piece of furniture or pillow is locally made by hand, and there are no televisions just acres of glass overlooking the seal-grey sea and the ever-changing weather.
FORBES: Chiloe: Edgy Design on the Edge of the Earth in Chile
