Nothing wrong with dreaming. Just don’t ask me to put money into your anti-grav start up.

AG would be so very, very useful and game changing that it SHOULD be studied. I don't have much hope for a practical solution in my lifetime, but anti-grav along with nano medicine are things that should be researched.

This is a little discouraging:

Though prior condensed matter studies by Li, Torr, and Podkletnov & Neiminen have not been successfully replicated,

and with each experiment that tries to clarify the results, the observed effect has diminished.

I knew a guy that built gravity meters for a living, and other geophysical equipment. He told the story of how the missles take into account gravity anomalies over which they will travel into account. Changes in gravity due to mountains, oceans, changes in rock, etc. All of that is programmed into the computer. 9This was before GPS, etc.)

But the missles still were off course a bit. The government had him do some studies on determining if there was such a thing as “anti-gravity”. He did gravity measurements deep in tunnels, and high up on towers at the same location, among other things.

He said he thought it was conceivable that there is “anti-gravity”, but that it was too small for him to measure. And I would think that if it is too small to measure, if it does exist, how you would harness its power.

GD: If gravity-like fields, both attractive and repulsive, can be produced

I can't get past that statement right there. Gravity, in my experience is only an attractive force.

I find parts of this really attractive, but I can see how Obama might shovel billions at this, and that repels me.

Whatever happened with the NASA project using spinning superconductors that was supposed to decrease the local gravity field.

I remember is was a big deal that NASA was jumping on board with the testing then nothing.

I’m generally pro-gravity, but I’m open to hear the anti-gravity argument.

As long as they don't bring in Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius, in as a consultant, there MAY be something to this project.
