Yes gravity can be created.

You can actually create gravity through centripetal force.

The centripetal force that is directed towards the center of the turn is required for any object to move in a circular path.

In the context of a rotating space station it is the normal force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.

The only way to get gravity is with mass. The more mass, the more gravity you get.

Without mass, you can't have gravity.

The force of gravity that we feel is actually just an acceleration towards the center of the Earth at 9.8 meters per second squared, or 1G.

Aside from the long-running Anti Gravity column in Scientific American, however, there is no such thing as anti gravity.

Only way out in deep space, beyond the domain of any planets or stars, can you truly escape gravity.

As of yet, no technology exists to neutralize the pull of gravity.

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter.

On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them.

Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects.

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light are attracted to one another.

On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the tides of the oceans.
