I assure you, there's some gravity in that box that you can "experiment" with. While you're there, you'd also have consciousness "trapped" in the same box, if your own head wasn't enough of a "box" for you. Again, you can experiment with your consciousness....very easy to do with certain choice substances. You mentioned this whole discussion began due to a paper you were writing? I have serious doubts about that now, as you don't seem to have ever stepped foot in a classroom......
I think Amkerman is referring to gravity being a dent in four dimensional space time rather than being akin to magnetism or electrical forces.
If so he has a kind of point that gravity is different, not sure what difference it makes though.
