...in the form of what may be an accidentally discovered artificial gravity generator, with possible practical applications!:
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/GSP/SEM0L6OVGJE_0.html 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. |

This is going to be very difficult to confirm, and very difficult to assign the force strictly to a gravitational vector. I question whether the effect, if real, would be totally different from what Podkletnov claimed: If you can create a magnogravimetric field, you can shield it - frankly I think the fickle gravity anomalies observe during total eclipses proved this fifty years ago. And I don-t think they have as yet realize the full implications of this relationship.\\\
Speaking of the B probe, and hint of any results? |
