Still looking for the elusive mineral UPSIDASIUM?

Makes sense to me the Gov't has been trying to repeal the laws of ecconomics, why not physics as well...

I thought it was Flubberski...

You don't see many stories featuring antigravity anymore. HG Wells took a ship to the moon by coating it with an anti-gravity paint of some kind, so the ship didn't weigh anything (probably an early form of WD-40). That was written about 100 years ago, typical of the period. But you're right, SF just doesn't use anti-gravity these days.

Anti-gravity paint!?? Jules Verne shot his ship to the moon out of a big cannon. (Imagine the G-forces!)

How would they get funding? Congress doesn't care as it's too late to help get Hillary's a$$ back up.

POLAND? They still haven't figured out how to drive those 10,000 septic tanks they bought from russia.

anti-gravity bump.
To: XBob
has anyone even figured out what gravity is? Einstein did. It's the curvature of spacetime.

I have no doubt that tax dollars have been thrown at antigravity research. I also have no doubt that tax dollars have been thrown at perpetual motion, psychic powers and Hebrew numerology. That doesn't make any of it so.

Jules Verne shot his ship to the moon out of a big cannon. (Imagine the G-forces!)The beak of the red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) hits the bark of a tree with an impact velocity of 13 mph, subjecting the bird's brain to a deceleration of approximately 10 g when its head snaps back. Other woodpeckers my experience an even higher g-force.
How do you know Verne was talking about shooting normal humans out of a cannon and not liberal pea brains?
To: Physicist
I seem to recall a post by you a few months back in which you mentioned something about the nature of gravity (the details of which I cannot recall), but the implication of it (I think) was that we ought not waste much time looking for anti-gravity.
Am I hallucinating, or could you elaborate for folks on the theoretical obstacles to anti-gravity machines?
Thanx.
To: imperator2
Wasn't that flubber?
To: Physicist
Post #32 ... Is the spacetime curvature basically a temporal or spatial phenomenon? I ask because all other primary forces 9electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear) we're familiar with appear to be influencing the spatial parameters of spacetime, while gravity may be influencing the temporal and that's why a unifying theory has not been found as yet. Perhaps, maybe ... as in every mass lays along the relative future of every other mass? [Ugh, this is gonna be tough away from the safety of my porch while I await the veridct and risk the sleights of mind from Vade and Patrick and their ilk. I ask myself, is it worth it?]

If this were true, there'd be a lot of research papers on this and there would be an equivalent to the IEEE organized to review the papers and articles written as well as organize conferences ...
So is there an equivalent organization?
Bet not ...

the Brassiere/Plastic Surgery cartel is keeping developments in anti-gravity under wraps to prevent dilution of their market share! That, of course, is one theory which must be investigated. Another is the Scientific/physicist/so-called empiricist/government complex.
Who has the most to gain by telling us how the universe is ordered? The church used to tell us and they gained great power by professing to know the truth. But then a challanger appeared: the empirical cartel raised its ugly head.
And we know the results of that, don't we? We know how well they have done for themselves, don't we?
To: MHGinTN
What does gravity effect temporally....for us laymen? Actually I wouldn't even mind if you defined temporal. I am note being cute, but would like to know. Been awhile since I got into this heavy stuff.
