The plasma, mercury based, is pressurized at 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin ...

I dunno. Something under that much pressure should be a lot warmer than 150 degrees above absolute zero. I'm pinging RWP because he might set me straight on this.

The problem is the author neglected a vital aspect of any discussion of antigravity shielding -- tin foil tightly wrapped around the cranium.

You're right. Nothing is a plasma at 251 kbar and 150 K. Nothing, even helium, is anything other than a solid at 251 kbar and 150 K.
