<i>The GRASP paper focuses on Podkletnov's claims that his experiments using a device called an "impulse gravity generator" are capable of producing a beam of gravity-like energy that can exert an instantaneous force of 1,000-G on any object. Podkletnov maintains a Russian lab has already demonstrated the 4-inch-wide beam's ability to repel objects a kilometer away, with negligible power loss at distances of up to 200 kilometers. </i> Wow, so many implications, hard to believe though
even better http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0108/0108005.pdf this is a pdf of an experiment showing that a type of "radiation" was indeed occuring and looked just like a gravitational force, except it was repulsive. Interesting is the result that this "radiation" would go through brick walls and still accelerate the object just as it would with no brick wall.
Looks like the time is approaching that a few books may have to be altered. This is incredible, if true! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! edit to fix spelling error
I thought this thread would receive a lot more response than it has. Is it because this is a new "force" not described in present physics and physicists don't have an opinion yet? Or is it because General Relativity seems to view it as "impossible", therefore it has to be a mistake or a lie? Why was this posted under the Astronomy forum instead of Physics?
It actually making an anti-gravity beam? I have heard about the concept before. Hope it can be verified. Here are some links I found on this discover: http://www.gravity-society.org/abstract_AIAA.htm http://www.rialian.com/rnboyd/podkletnov.htm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2157975.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2159487.stm This is not good: "Has the experiment been repeated by others? Several teams have tried but none has seen the same thing. The American space agency Nasa tried but said it couldn't find any effect. "
yes, i believe it would mark a new era of science, I just have a hard time believing that this thing is a fake, as many U.S. companies have recently jumped into it all of a sudden, I think the gov. just wants everyone to think its bullshit.
I agree with you bigjnorman, the implications of an "anti-gravity beam" are immense. Mainstream science seems to view it as a challenge to General Relativity. Boeing and the military can also view it as a weapon, to knock satillites out of orbit or to deflect incoming missiles, for example.
