   nah, it was entirely fictional AFAIK. Eureka was the fictional city of genius inventors in the series. no amount of internal motors could enable a ball to dynamically change its weight. though mass is energy, in day-to-day life you can most often assume it's conserved, which is why I found it so creative and amusing

     Even with mass-energy equivalency, it is much easier to change mass into energy than the other way around. But as far as changing an object's *weight* by pressing a button, that should be possible. Weight is dependent on both on the mass and distance separating two (or more) objects, or the acceleration of an object. If pressing the button initiates something to accelerate that o…
