Personally, I have to admit that this is probably one of the
most interesting subject matters for me. Although, many engineers and scientists
would consider talk of such a concept (artificial antigravity) as heresy, for me
it kind of encompasses everything that I believe the Universe is all about; that
is that "All things are possible".
It's difficult to imagine a that the law of gravity does not act
in a similar fashion as all other laws, and by that I mean that it doesn't lend
itself to statistical probability. By this I mean that if indeed we live
in a type of reality (M theory) that incorporates an infinite number of universes, each
with it's own set of possibilities / probabilities, then why should gravity exist
in some kind of an exclusion zone, where it is an "Absolute" and not subject to
differing versions of itself?
I think not, in fact, I strongly believe that gravity being a
force that acts upon space itself, will turn out to be just one of many (some natural
& some artificial) that act upon space. As a Mechanical Engineer I can tell you
that I spent countless hours, days, months, years, etc. learning how to design
things with a predictable lifespan (time to failure). This is where probability
comes to play in everyday life.
It's not if something will happen, but rather when it will
happen. Being a curious fellow, I always studied all aspects of engineering and
science with the idea that each and every law can & will be broken at one point
or another, and in fact have spent many hours (awake and in bed) contemplating how
to do just that. Anyway, now that we've gone over the philosophical reasoning
behind my beliefs, lets get on to the heart of the matter. "Antigravity", and
the current research into it.
First, let's look at a video discussing the "Case for
Antigravity" (enjoy!).
The video (above) presents a reasonable view of gravity and the
possibility of it's counterpart "antigravity", and further investigation into
this (Google it) will no doubt bring to the surface countless (thousands) of
additional views into this subject matter.
What I do here (in this section) is to attempt to delve into
(and distinguish between) the various proposed methods of antigravity research,
with the preconceived notion (maybe incorrectly) that it must fit somewhere
within the parameters of relativistic theory, quantum mechanics and common
sense.
Below is a very interesting video of a an experimenter (John
Hutchison) who through the simultaneous use of various electrical / electronic
pieces of equipment (Tesla coils, Van de Graff machines, etc.), produced some
remarkable effects with all types of materials. Some of these effects appear to
be transmutation of metals and also levitation of non-ferrous materials.
Enjoy the video!
