Near Earth, we cannot ever escape the pull of gravity. However, small objects can be levitated by using an effect called diamagnetism. Superconductors are strongly diamagnetic, meaning that they magnetize in a way that tends to push them out of strong field regions. Superconductors can be levitated fairly easily.

Is it possible to ignore gravity?

Under general relativity, anti-gravity is impossible except under contrived circumstances.

Can you really defy gravity?

Gravity! We can't escape it. Gravity is actually “the force of attraction between any two masses,” so it doesn't just exist on Earth, and gravity doesn't just exist between the Earth and other objects. ...
