According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, a moving mass should create another field, called gravitomagnetic field, besides its static gravitational field. This field has now been measured for the first time and to the scientists' astonishment, it proved to be no less than one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein's General Relativity predicts.

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, a moving mass should create another field, called gravitomagnetic field, besides its static gravitational field. This field has now been measured for the first time and to the scientists' astonishment, it proved to be no less than one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein's General Relativity predicts.

This gravitomagnetic field is similar to the magnetic field produced by a moving electric charge (hence the name "gravitomagnetic" analogous to "electromagnetic"). For example, the electric charges moving in a coil produce a magnetic field - such a coil behaves like a magnet. Similarly, the gravitomagnetic field can be produced to be a mass moving in a circle. What the electric charge is for electromagnetism, mass is for gravitation theory (the general theory of relativity).

A spinning top weights more than the same top standing still. However, according to Einstein's theory, the difference is negligible. It should be so small that we shouldn't even be capable of measuring it. But now scientists from the European Space Agancy, Martin Tajmar, Clovis de Matos and their colleagues, have actually measured it. At first they couldn't believe the result.

"We ran more than 250 experiments, improved the facility over 3 years and discussed the validity of the results for 8 months before making this announcement. Now we are confident about the measurement," says Tajmar. They hope other physicists will now conduct their own versions of the experiment so they could be absolutely certain that they have really measured the gravitomagnetic field and not something else. This may be the first empiric clue for how to merge together quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity in a single unified theory.

"If confirmed, this would be a major breakthrough," says Tajmar, "it opens up a new means of investigating general relativity and its consequences in the quantum world."

The experiment involved a ring of superconducting material rotating up to 6 500 times a minute. According to quantum theory, spinning superconductors should produce a weak magnetic field. The problem was that Tajmar and de Matos experiments with spinning superconductors didn't seem to fit the theory - although in all other aspects the quantum theory gives incredibly accurate predictions. Tajmar and de Matos then had the idea that maybe the quantum theory wasn't wrong after all but that there was some additional effect overlapping over their experiments, some effect they neglected.

What could this other effect be? They thought maybe it's the gravitomagnetic field - the fact that the spinning top exerts a higher gravitational force. So, they placed around the spinning superconductor a series of very sensible acceleration sensors for measuring whether this effect really existed. They obtained more than they bargained for!

Although the acceleration produced by the spinning superconductor was 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth's gravitational field, it is a surprising one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein's General Relativity predicts. Thus, the spinning top generated a much more powerful gravitomagnetic field than expected.

Now, it remains the need for a proper theory. Scientists can also now check whether candidate theories, such as the string theory, can describe this experiment correctly. Moreover, this experiment shows that gravitational waves should be much more easily to detect than previously thought.

I remember that.

I wonder if they tried spinning in both directions.

Be interesting if, instead of weighing more, it was pushing itself through gravity like a propeller through water and turning in the opposite direction would make it weigh less.

“Quite often when measurements and theory do not match
the issue is the quality, accuracy and methodology of
the instrumentation and how they are used that are the
issue. This will need to be looked at long and hard.
It wasn’t all that long ago that the announcement that
a particle actually might be moving FTL....it was then
announced that NO....we effed up on the instrumentation.
Time will tell.”

Interesting observation, but hasn’t it been shown that the speed of light has been slowing down since the beginning of the “first day”?

Interesting. I am now reading a book about quantum physics which points out fundamental disagreements between Einstein and Niels Bohr regarding quantum theory.

Yep.

Global warming in vogue, you want to publish, you publish about global warming.

Anti-global warming ? Sorry, not so many grants for that research.

Endowing the university system has paid off for globalists (well, their grandchildren).

They have most of the university system working for them.

***I think Alamo Girl is familiar with that evidence. She seems to think it isn’t the case. The problematic issue with C is in the first few milliseconds of creation when Matter supposedly moved faster than C.

Isn’t that saying the same thing? I do believe that it is...

Read “Beyond Einsteins Unified Field” by John Brandenburg.

He explains how rotating electrical/magnetic fields yield something synonymous with anti-gravity.

We’ve had it for years.

(Before It’s News)

http://beforeitsnews.com/science-and-technology/2012/11/anti-gravity-patent-available-for-development-2495864.html

Inventor Jeffrey J Nau received U.S. Patent 7,663,281 for a magnetic field generating device that is also an anti-gravitational generator. A primary object of the invention is to provide a generator utilizing electromagnetic forces to provide repulsion by creating an electro-magnetic field. Now that invention is available for licensing, purchasing the rights or a royalty agreement. According to Nau writing in the patent the device can be used to power self-steering levitating cars that would glide above metal guideways.

According to Nau, the magnetic field generator utilizes two concentric rings with similarly charged electro-magnets to repel the rings in opposite orbits around an electrically charged central core to create the magnetic field.

Gravity Opposing Repulsion Generator

Nau asserts a compact magnetic levitation vehicle or car can provide passenger comfort consistent with automobiles and travels suspended on ferromagnetic rails in evacuated tubes of minimal radial dimension extending between vehicle loading and unloading stations or at atmospheric conditions.

A pair of guides extend outwardly along opposite sides of the vehicle and contain magnetic elements. Electrically conductive, ferromagnetic, magnetic, or electromagnetic sections in the rails correspond to the magnetic elements in the vehicle guides. Linear motors or controlled interaction with rail members provide propulsion and braking. Extensive portions of the evacuated tubes are provided with two sets of rails, one set of rails functionally located above the other.

Rail switching is accomplished by selectively interacting with alternative levitation rails which are located at switching locations. Tube evacuation may be supplemented by vacuum pumps on the vehicle to draw in air during travel. The vehicle may have turbines which draw in air and exhaust compressed gases into cylinders.

FIG. 1 is a cut-away perspective view of the anti-gravitational generator 10 having a solid conductive sphere 12. The anti-gravitational generator comprising a central sphere 12 surrounded by an inner ring 14 within an outer ring 16, rotating about a vertical axis. A spherical core 12 is comprised of a core of conductive material and dielectric material insulated from outer engine casing, the outer surface is conductive/dielectric lines running vertically from pole to pole. Around the core 12 is an inner ring 14 that spins in one direction, looking from the top, counterclockwise, it is charged in one direction through brushes. An outer ring 16 placed around the inner ring 14 will spin in the opposite direction, clockwise and will be charged with an opposite flow of electricity through the brushes. Bearings and dielectric insulation are used to maintain electrical separation of inner and outer rings. The interface area is what drives the inner ring 14.

FIG. 2 is a cut-away perspective view of the anti-gravitational generator 10 having a spherical core 12 of conductive metal 20 with interdisposed dielectric material 18. Theanti-gravitational generator 10 is a gravity-opposing repulsion generator comprising a spherical core 12 surrounded by an inner ring 14 within an outer ring 16 rotating about a vertical axis. Shown are the clockwise rotation 50 of the outer ring 16 and the counter-clockwise rotation 52 of the inner ring 14. The core 12 is charged through the conductive mounting rod 22. the entire unit is enclosed within a housing 34 as depicted in phantom line.

FIG. 11 is an illustrated view of the induced magnetic field 62 provided by the present invention. As electrical input is evenly increased, the rings 14,16 will drive faster to a point where a resultant magnetic field 62 forms by charging the core 12, the magnetic field should increase.

The magnetic levitation rotating machine can stably detect the displacement and rotating speed of a rotator and, at the same time, can reduce the size of the whole apparatus, that is, can render the whole apparatus compact.

The magnetic levitation rotating machine for supporting a rotator in a levitated state by magnetic force of an electromagnet or a permanent magnet comprises: a position detection plane provided in the rotator and a concave and/or a convex provided in the plane; a displacement sensor provided on the fixed side, for detecting the displacement of the plane including the concave or the convex; and a detection mechanism for detecting the displacement of the rotator and the rotating speed of the rotator from the output of the displacement sensor.

A transport system has a pair of levitating rails, each of the levitating rails has a core with a plurality of coils extending circumferentially around each of the cores. The coils are perpendicular to the lengths of the levitating rails. Each of the levitating rails has an upper surface directly above the core. A vehicle has wheels that roll on the upper surfaces of the levitating rails in a nonlevitating position.

The vehicle has a plurality of magnets that create magnetic fields that pass through the coils while the vehicle is moving along the levitating rails. The magnetic fields induce current, which in turn causes an opposing magnetic field that levitates the vehicle. A steering rail having a plurality of coils is mounted to at least one of the guideways. Permanent steering magnets are located on each side of the steering rail to magnetically steer the vehicle along the guideways.

The object of the invention is to:

to provide a gravity-opposing repulsion generator utilizing electro-magnetic forces to provide repulsion by creating an electro-magnetic field superior to all surrounding forces

to provide a gravity-opposing repulsion generator wherein a pair of electro magnetic rings are disposed one within the other and encircling a central sphere that is electrically energized to opposing polarities to force the counter-rotational movement thereof

to provide a gravity-opposing repulsion generator wherein the rotational speed of the rings and the voltage applied thereto increases to a point to effectively achieve gravitational neutrality

to provide a gravity-opposing repulsion generator wherein the rotational speed of the rings and the voltage applied thereto are further increased to a point to provide repulsion from the Earth’s gravitational field by taking advantage of the north-to-north magnetic situation created by the electro-magnetic field created by the present invention

to provide a gravity-opposing repulsion generator having a central sphere comprising a combination of metal conductive material with dielectric material and having a conducting mounting rod forming a core extending vertically from opposing ends thereof

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity still stands.

Basically it says: “Everyone had relatives”. (Otherwise you wouldn’t be here).

So Einstein was right. They even opened a Bagel store named after him. One of the greatest honors the food establishment can bestow on someone.
