"Curiously, barely a hint of such Nazi research appeared after the war, suggesting that whoever captured it -- probably the United States -- immediately stamped it ``secret,'' he said."

It is stored in that big warehouse...you know, the one where they stashed the Ark in the first Indiana Jones movie..? I understand the crate is right next to the one that contains the Ark.

If electrogravitics becomes a reality, it will nail down the notion that inertia and gravity share basic principle ... it will also, perhaps, explain why there is not air turbulence when a possible extraterrestrial craft passes at high speed near a conventional aircraft, why there is no shockwave or energy wave preceeding or following such craft.

The US probably captured it? In Poland? I guess we just slipped by those 10 million Russian soldiers in the way.

Several inventors have developed working Anti-Gravity devices. Every patent was bought up by and further research killed by the Brassiere/Plastic Surgeon cartel.

This may explain why my tin foil hat keeps looking like a Nazi helmet.

Anti gravity is so negative, I much prefer pro-levity.

[XBob]

has anyone even figured out what gravity is?

Antigravity used to be a staple of science fiction. It comes from Feynman's idea that an antiparticle is the time-reversed version of its counterpart. (That is, an anti-proton is a proton flying backward through time.)

An implication of that idea is that antimatter should curve up against gravity. Until sometime in the 80s, no one could tell for sure about this, since subatomic particles are very light and don't bend much under most conditions. Finally, the work got done and the answer recorded: antiparticles have the same mass, the same gravity as normal particles.

You don't see many stories featuring antigravity anymore.

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

anti-gravity bump.

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.

US Has Heavily Researched Anti-Gravity, Book Says

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 ...

I don't think "antigravity" research would be productive. Note however that there is evidence for the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. This is theorized to be caused by a property known as quintessence. It has properties similar to what antigravity would exhibit. Further discussion of this phenomenon can be seen at the April 7, 2001 edition of Science News and at Physical Review Focus, 2/24/2000. Many other sources are available by searching "universe acceleration".

In one of the Berlitz rags he talks about something called the Biefeld Brown effect, where a strongly charged dipole has a force towards one of the poles, I forget which. This led me to do some research, I at least found out that Thomas Townsend Brown was a highly respected guy who had traveled the world doing surveys on the gravitational field and variations. Since the electric field and the magnetic field are at right angles, a very small gravitational effect, at right angles to the other two, might make sense. It was rumored that some levitation devices were constructed, but the static sharges needed were in the hundreds of thousands of volts range. Make yur hair stand on end, if not fall out completely.
