does this mean we stop blaming Bush for our addiction to oil.....and blame our addiction on gravity......
we can always blame Bush for gravity......

it would make sense that two separate yet equal magnetic fields in close proximity to one another would possibly fold time and space. maybe?!?

ALTERNATE DRIVE:

THE THEORY:
Basically: Cats always land on their feet, toast always falls butter side down. What happens when you attach a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat and then drop it?
The most common conclusion is that the cat/toast amalgam will fall to within a few inches of the floor, and then the speed of decent will decrease, as the two forces try to out-strain each other. This will (theoretically) cause hovering. In addition, as the cat struggles to get its feet to the floor, spinning may occur.

The matter and anti matter engines can't take it anymore. You must switch over to impulse power, captain!!!

The problem is, as New Scientist explains, it's entirely theoretical and many physicists admit they don't understand the science behind it.Just like anything else, you never know until you try it.

Would the maximum speed be relatively small so that acceleation would not be great?

Right direction?, feasible?, possible? Who can be sure, but one thing that it has going for it is that every detailed description of "documented" UFO flight observations have described flight characteristics that appear to defy gravity. And, if there is any actual merit to those documented observations, then a science that posits gravity defying propulsion may be on the right track.

Actually at the speed of light you would travel to Mars in 4 min and 28 sec. This device would travel at .019 times the speed of light. I'd take it.
