	The Mysterious Gravity Hill - Physicists Show "Antigravity" Mystery Spots Are Optical Illusions
		At several hilly locations around the U.S., know as "gravity hills," objects such as cars left on neutral supposedly roll uphill, driven by unknown forces and against the force of gravity.
		In the case of Gravity Hill, the layout of the surrounding landscape produces the illusion of a very slight downhill slope, when in fact it is a slight uphill slope.
		This attributes the force of gravity to the unseen warping of the fabric of spacetime, caused by the presence of mass (or energy).

	Gravity Hill
		Among certain cliques, Gravity Hill was a particularly "cool" topic of conversation, stirring up all kinds of rumors as to what happened to whom on a trip there.
		Gravity Hill is actually officially known as Buckingham Mountain, and is located in Buckingham Township, Pennsylvania, approximately twenty miles north of Philadelphia.
		I asked the Terennas if Gravity Hill really works or not, to which they replied that they've never tried it, but that the place where most people attempt it (by the church) was the wrong location anyway.

	Byron Hill, Gravity
		Hill is a country songwriter, and both the lyrics and the arrangements reflect this.
		While Hill's songs seem to lack the immediacy of many folk singer-songwriters' work, I'm a great fan of a well-turned phrase and concept, and Hill's work is abundant in these.
		Hill captures this, including the ironies of making oneself miserable when one is happy, and how easy it is to do.

		Since all documented gravity hills share some or all of the above traits, and several have been proven to be illusions, then there is a probability that all gravity hills are illusions.
		In a similar fashion, printed across the asphalt approximately 400 feet up the hill is the word “end.” Presumably, as a matter of convenience, these designations were added for the benefit of future visitors to denote where the phenomenon begins and stops (see Figures 3 and 4).
		Trying to experience a gravity hill with your vehicle or taking measurements on foot might be extremely hazardous due to moving traffic.

	Gravity hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gravity hill (also known as a gravity road) is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope.
		The slope of a gravity hill is an optical illusion, and gravity has nothing to do with it.
		However, as the names also suggest, these areas are typically found in hill country, suggesting to skeptics that the actual effect being experienced is optical illusion due to mildly sloped ground being interpreted by the eye as horizontal, particularly where no distant horizon is visible as a reference.

		Hill's melodic baritone sounds utterly natural, relaxed and timeless, dovetailing smoothly into the instrumentation, giving each sweet melody a wholeness, an eavesdropping intimacy, that sounds as if the band was playing live.
		Hill adds the right touch to each track: the mandolin on "Took Her To The Moon", harmonica on "Trail Of String", or the dobro on the title song.
		Hill’s take on the tune, dramatically different than Kershaw’s stone cold country approach, illustrates the power and magic to be found in different artists’ individual interpretations of the same piece.

	Take neutral approach to Greenfield's Gravity Hill - The Boston Globe
		GREENFIELD -- You may not find your thrill on Gravity Hill, but you will discover that what some folks say about a certain stretch of Shelburne Road is true: Park your car on the slight incline just east of the Route 2 overpass, shift into neutral, and coast uphill.
		The Sheas themselves have tested the phenomenon more than once, even experimenting to see if Gravity Hill was up to the task of handling the family's 9,000-pound Ford pickup truck.
		Greenfield's Gravity Hill is certainly not the world's only Gravity Hill, although some of the others are referred to as Spook Hill, Magnetic Hill, Mystery Hill, and so on.

		For this report we’ll focus on what is happening when you try to ride a bike up a hill.
		Gravity is the force of attraction between something and the center of the earth.
		This means that the greater the height of the hill the greater the gravitational potential energy, because the mass is going to stay the same all the way up the hill and gravity is also going to stay constant.

		I stopped at the bottom of the hill, a large incline lay behind me, too much to expect to return to, but the car immediately began to drive backwards, up the hill.

		Gravity is the force of attraction between something and the center of the earth.
		So as the bike goes farther up the hill gravity wants to pull it down, so the bike is working against gravity, making it harder to go up the hill as you get up the hill farther.
		The father up the hill you go the more kinetic energy you use and that is why at the top of the hill it is harder; and you might get off your bike and walk.
