UM-Bot Posted May 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2005 In the recent article, "How to float like a stone", science correspondent for The Guardian, David Adam wrote that what goes up no longer has to come down. Quoting researchers who announced their results this week in the New Journal of Physics, Adams noted that, "British scientists have developed an antigravity machine that can float heavy stones, coins and lumps of metal in mid-air.

STIX Posted May 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I agree 100%, This is not Anti-Gravity... I hate all these claims of anti-gravity, none are real or consistent, we dont even understand what gravity is... I believe true anti-gravity must come from the creation of a gravitational field with a negative integer value...compared to the field of the earth which has a positive integer value. Gravitational shielding would be different, although I dont know if this is possible, it wouldn't be anti-gravity. Its interesting what Lazar says...A gravity generator would seem to be a sufficient tool for interstellar travel, if you are able to manitulate gravity you could surely manipulate space-time making it infinitly more possible to travel through space. With conventional methods there is nothing to push against or pull on in space...but if you could treat space-time as a medium then travel could become much easier... imagine a gravitational rotor...like a propellor on a boat... pushing or pulling the fabric of the universe in order to propel the spaceship.

Fluffybunny Posted May 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2005 we dont even understand what gravity is... Extraterrestrials more advanced than humans may know what it is. 624384[/snapback] I agree with you there. Looking back over the advances of science over the past millennia; every time that there was some kind of self imposed limits to knowledge or technology time changes things and the limits are blown away. Every so often some kind of fundamental shift in the understanding of the universe and it's workings. Not too long ago we didn't know about the spectrum of light that we do know, and because of that information we have learned a great deal in astronomy; things we could never have understood or figured out beforehand are now common knowledge... Just as the current thinking is that the speed of light is the speed limit of everything in the universe, I personally think that over time some fundamental shift in the understanding of time and space will occur and a new branch of science will find some way around or through that speed limit... Going back to the beggining of the quote though, I am not sure that those technologies are necessarily alien in origin; it doesn't seem to be that big of a jump in technology. It isn't really antigravity per se; just a technique to use magnetism to overcome gravity...it is about as antigravity as the propeller of a helicopter...

Space Commander Travis Posted May 16, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I think it's thanks to Einstein that there's the attitude from mainstream science that claims such as this are impossible or fantasy. There seems to be an 'end to everything' approach from the scientific community: Einstein has spoken, and that is the definitive answer to everything. Mainstream science seems very reluctant to consider that there might be new discoveries at some time in the future that do not disprove, or discredit, Einstein, but that maybe there are some things he didn't consider possible but which perhaps are, such as faster-than-light/anti-gravity technologies. So i think it's perfectly reasonable that new technologies that science might now think are impossible will be developed over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukie&jim Posted May 17, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2005 humm: the DOD has been fooling around with anit-matter, gravaton generators , and the garden viraty neutron "beams" for a few years . BOB he's a no-cred--thats for sure. but you all know that bill clinton spent $20,000 USD on a psycic spy to find nessie too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
