      Oh interesting question however i don’t think we will ever have control over the forces, they are too powerful. If we did i don’t think we would use them properly and bad things will happen.

      I don’t think we will ever be able to control forces like gravity…they are to big. They are also not really a “substance”…we know they are there but we can not see or touch them…so I am not sure how we would be able to control them!

      We do control forces. Every time we push, kick or throw a ball, or walk, we control forces. In the case of the English football team, not very well, though.

      I don’t know, I don’t think so – Sians answer is a good one though!

      It’s unlikely that we can do it permanently as gravity is a universal force. We can control it momentarily in zero G aircraft, etc.
