You may defy it, but gravity will always win. Bwa-ha-ha-ha.

But seriously folks . . . "Defy" is a very dramatic and meaningless word. There's

no way to turn gravity off, or shield yourself from it. But fortunately, the net

effective force on anything is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting

on it. So if you can set up other forces on an object in addition to the gravity

that's always there, you can make the object behave as if the net force on it

were zero, or horizontal, or slanty, or straight down, or even straight up and

completely opposite to gravity. That's exactly what you do every time you use

your leg muscles to exert forces on your body in addition to gravity, and walk

up the stairs.
