Is gravity global to the scene?  Maybe it could be toggled on and off,
given zero-G physics as an option?

I was gonna mention this on a physics learning list I'm on but got lost
looking for the physics engine you're using.  Something embedded in the
Calico IDE?  I'd not heard of that before, but have so far watched one
Youtube about it.

If you have any Youtubes or screencasts of your project in action, I'm keen
to view.  Could be I missed a link at your Github.

I'm mostly familiar with physics teachers using VPython, which got started
and gets maintained by the physics-oriented.
