Anti-gravity technology is a theme in many works of science fiction, and a hope for those who dream of radical engineering breakthroughs. It is also, I have learned, a topic of serious study in a segment of the scientific community. I recently interviewed Gregory Daigle, author of a newly released book Gravity 2.0: Design Strategies for a Gravity Modified World to learn more about the field...
FET: What made you focus on the design aspect of modification of gravity?
GD: If gravity-like fields, both attractive and repulsive, can be produced along the lines proposed by Extended Heim Theory (EHT) then it would make possible not only propulsive fields but also fields that might be described as barrier fields, suppression fields, traction fields and others. As an industrial designer, such new possibilities for producing fields capable of manipulating all matter much like electromagnetic fields manipulate ferrous materials presents exciting opportunities not only in products but also experience design and in redefining demographic relationships. If you can float to work, thats an experience. If you can float your home, then how do you describe your residency? This has the power to impact land values (why buy when you can fly?), democracy (you cant vote if you float) and injure social structures by creating not just economic divides, but vertical ones as well.

The assumption is that it is an analog to electro-magnetics. A negative attractive force and a positive repulsing force.
Ping.
I’m generally pro-gravity, but I’m open to hear the anti-gravity argument.
Gravity does not affect the rate at which time runs. It's the opposite:gravity is caused by time fields. If you calculate the flow of time on the ground versus the flow of time at an altitude of 175 miles, you will note that time on the ground lags the flow of time at that altitude by about one second every 85 years, a very small differential.
The Jetsons was a lie! I want flying cars!
