Also, if you are creating the gravity field around the creature, then the gravity within the bubble remains constant and the creature is then unaffected while the space around the gravity field is bent. You are thinking about the effect of the earth's gravity impacts us, rather than trying to understand that the force of the gravity happens outside of the envelope impacting the creature. Gravity impacts the space around the creature, not on the creature.

The only thing science can see that comes close to the extreme gravity your talking about is the event horizon around a black hole and the gravity from a neutron star and both of those tear complete stars to nothing but radiation, to think a living creature could survive this is complete science fiction from a comic book.

Again, science fiction.

There are many concepts that propose alternate dimensions and parallel universes, which can then explain our experiences/ability for premonition, or deja vu, or even reincarnation. What we actually know about the universe around us is infinitely small to what we think we know. In another 100 years people will look back at what we think we knew and shake their heads.

We've come a long ways in the last 100 years, perfected powered flight, put men on the moon and even harnessed the power of the atom but what we didn't do was break the laws of physics that peering into the universe has taught us.
