It can't work like that. As I understand it (at a primitive level) particle accelerators have to keep on chugging to move stuff up close to lightspeed. This effect, if real, should have been detected by now.

The gravitational effects of a subatomic particle are not of any measurable size. Doesn't matter if you're talking gravitational, or anti-gravitational. You need a planetary-size mass moving at close to the speed of light

Good point.

Give new meaning to the term "Spaceship Earth."

LOL. Talk about your SSC...maybe the entire solar system is acting as a resevoir for the greys to run "planet-smashing" experiments ? ;-)

Cheers!

...and then he remembered the r**2 dependence
