Title: zero point gravity
Post by: maxdimario on May 21, 2007, 01:33:45 PM
someone I met who works in aerospace told me that there are machines which work with anti-gravity or anti-inertia already in r&d with some proven results..

not sure how it works.

has anyone heard about this?

Yes, but smoking dope is illegal in most places these days.

There are loads of designs out there, the most promising flying saucer was designed by British scientists of course working for the British equivalent of NASA, as follows:

I heard (but take it with a grain of salt) that a lot of technology was reverse engineered from space craft (from other worlds) found at area 51. LOL

It sounds a bit unfinished, beyond the scope of some tiny experiment showing some promising numbers. As cool as it sounds I remain a sceptic.

There's no mention of "anti gravity" here, rather of using the acceleration to simulate gravity for the occupants... it keeps accelerating "up", which means the occupants feel they are being pushed "down", so they feel like gravity is present even when it is not.. because they are in space.

Oh ye of very little faith here is a pic of a top secret British space ship. Very hush hush.

Ah yes, now the pricing logic of British train tickets really does seem to be some new branch of mathematics, so maybe it will lead to antigravity!

Quite so Jon here is a picture from a recent launch attempt in Cumbria arranged by a team of expert rail track maintenance operatives, in which a large number of passengers claimed to have experienced weightlessness:

A railtrack link that doesn't work...

now why am I not surprised?

it's not the same thing I heard.

it has to do with energy at the atomic level I have no understanding of it but it seems to work in a limited fashion...

Gravity is by far the weakest of "our" natural forces.

If you guys can't figure out how to defeat it, then you must be a bunch of weaklings.

Right.  That NOVA special PBS made said something along the lines of, 'Even with the entire force of Earth's gravity, a child can pick up an apple with ease.'


And then broke into theories of multiple dimensions...

The author, Nick Cook, writes for Jane's defense and is not a tin-foil-hat guy.  I read this book several years ago, and there does seem to be something going on here.  It doesn't go into too many specifics, just to say that there are classified programs looking at ZPE, and that the MOD denies all knowledge of it!

Back when the company I work for was just a fledgling startup (as opposed to our current status of being a fledgling commercial entity, 14 years down the road), we shared office and lab space with a former Stanford physics prof who mostly works on Zero Point theory and applications.  As I understand it, Albert Einstein predicted the Zero Point Field, and that it has been proven to exist for many years.  (The Casimir effect, in which very short atomic-level "energy wavelengths" are excluded from the space between two very closely-spaced metal plates, thus causing a force which collapses the plates into each other, is an example.)

At any rate, this guy was committed to making ZPE "flight" possible.  Obviously, he hasn't succeeded, but he had a long history of black project work with the government back in the Cold War, including leading the DoD lab at Stanford which explored, among other things, claims of remote viewing and mind/physical interactions.  He is definitely way out there.

that's wild.

could be as far as I am concerned.. there are a lot of issues which deal with atomic and subatomic particles and energies which are very difficult to grasp, but they exist.

I'm sure the world was shocked in the 40's when the A-bomb came along.

Isn't there some old guy in Florida who built a castle with hudge stones that he moved without any machinery? The boulders are the size of a bus and no one knows how he did this (anti gravity?)

Was that at Stanford University or the nearby SRI International?  SRI was/is involved in a lot of odd research projects.  They're a private institution funded by grants from pretty much anywhere.  Stanford University is a bit more "mainstream."

Gravity is the 4th dimension, and will not be defeated by silly human.

I long for a planet that we can live and walk on, but can not be subjected to this gravity.

What a good feeling it will be to walk around outside in our blue yards without being held so tightly.

Also, without gravity there will be no effect on our bodies as age creeps in. I reciently saw a video of me 20 years ago and I look in the mirror now and I can see how constant gravity has affected my appearence (AKA old timers desease)

Really?

I was under the impression that high gravity makes for a healthier product.

We are talking about brewing ale, right?

As the astronauts can tell you, gravity has its uses.

Yes, it was SRI.  I believe he did teach at Stanford as well.  Dr. Puthoff is somewhat of an enigma -- he is a legitimate force in classical physics research, and yet he has spent much of his career looking into things most of us would consider complete bunk.  In fact, he continues to do so, as one of his current lab's functions is the near-daily defeat of various "free energy" claims.  I give Puthoff credit for maintaining an open mind while diligently disproving these claims.

Dr. Puthoff collaborated with a researcher I worked with at SRI in the '70's investigating plant telekinesis.  Small world.  I think they debunked Uri Geller as I recall.

Small world, indeed.  I spent a lot of time picking Dr. Puthoff's brain back in the day.  He is a fascinating guy.

Here is a link describing some of his current work:

Amazing! These are the first views I have ever seen of this. How did he drill that hole in that 9 foot stone gate? I can't seem to get those movies to play yet. That little man sure holds some secrets that many would like to know.

By running a Q equal to the square root of -1, I can actually get final ref approval before I even receive the masters.
