I love your thought process on this subject! Along those same lines look at electricity, it conducts thru a lot of materials but there are insulators which it can not penetrate. Radiation can be blocked by really dense materials such as lead and tungsten.
Same as magnetism a lot of natural elements are magnetic but there are exceptions to this. Not to mention the fact that you already stated about cancelling sound out with sound and your other examples. All natural forces have a way counter them, block them, or neutralize them.
Do I believe the ancients had access to some sort of neutralizing force or material.... I doubt it. But I do believe we don't fully understood their methods or technology I'll probably get slammed for saying that but oh well.
So my question is if we have ways to counter, neutralize, block, or manipulate all the other natural forces around us what will the key be to gravity??

I believe you are correct in your take on gravity being similar to the electromagnetic force. As well as it not being understood very well. Its such a weak force compared to the others but it influences everything. O
I think exploring the higgs boson is a step in the right direction, but I think its a baby step towards fully understanding mass and gravity. Ive tried to wrap my mind around gravity, is it a wave , is it a particle , or it could be leaking from another dimension www.space.com... . It is perplexing indeed.
My mind would not be blown if they discovered gravity was something completely different altogether than the current understanding.

That a bird like the raven, performing the work of man, should make the counterweight blocks of the shadouf bump up and settle down; that it should make the counterweight blocks of the shadouf bump down and rise up -- who had ever seen such a thing before?

Hi, are we talking symbolic ufo here? or dyou think its a technical description of some kind?
still chewing on the lengthy post above back later......

Seeing as it's the cause of mass, if we learn how to strip the higgs boson out of matter, then we've just created anti-gravity in a manner of speaking. To my understanding zero mass would mean gravity would have zero affect on the matter, and it would be ridiculously easy to accelerate it to the speed of light, possibly even beyond the speed of light.
