...in the form of what may be an accidentally discovered artificial gravity generator, with possible practical applications!:

If this effect is real, it's fully 1/10,000 G -- which is not to be sneezed at, and might conceivably lead us to Bigger Things.

Weren't there experiments and claims (by a russian scientist ?) that spinning superconducting plates "reduce" gravity felt above them years ago? And these claims were pretty much dismissed as bull since they couldn't be properly reproduced.

Well, whaddya know...

EDIT: Yes, his name is Podkletnov (not Poletnikov)
