As such there will still be a gravitational pull from every other body of mass in the universe.  The inverse square law will give you the amount of the gravity, which drops off with the square of the distance and explains why you don't go flying away from the pull of another galaxy.  

If you wanted to get rid of gravity altogether, theoretically you would have to remove all mass in the entire universe.

blalargh gravity is a universal force that exists independently of the things it acts on blaragh.

Gravity is a force that acts on mass. You can have gravity without mass like you can have water without fish. And it's the conservation of energy, not mass.

I didn't say the force would disappear, but there would be nothing for it to act on.  So one could argue that it would not exist.

Its for both energy and mass, mass can't be created or destroyed as energy can, maby it isn't called law od conservation of mass, but mass still has to be conserved.

---

Honestly, mass is destroyed all the time. It's happening right now in your smoke alarm.

Mass can't be created nor destroyed. Its Transformed!

Transformed ... into non-mass?

I was just wonderring the other day, does gravity exists without matter? For instance, if we obliterate all land and all other substance within earth completely except for gravity, whats going to happen with this force? Would it still exist or would it just suddenly vanish? After a while, this question lead me to the theory of formation of blackholes, since the purpose of gravitation is just suction built on the foundation of land and since my perceptions of blackholes is suction without land, I believed this is how blackholes are formed. I never taken any science courses, so I wouldn't know, but if any of you do take science courses, is my assumption correct?

---

A black hole isn't a hole at all, it is, in fact, an extremely dense ball of matter (land, as you call it). It's not suction either, gravity is attraction of matter to matter. More matter = stronger attraction. There's also other effects, but I don't know enough of the details to explain them clearly, especially since you've not had any courses in science.

True, it's not technically "created" or "destroyed," more converted from/to energy. I.e. in nuclear fission, atoms of uranium are converted into energy, so while there is less actual mass, it's not "destroyed" as there is the equivalent energy levels (remember E=MC^2).

its not like a sound (ie if a tree falls and no one hears it does it make a sound?) wherein you have vibrations, and if you were to take away the particles that vibrate, it would cease to exist.
