Physicist to Present New Exact Solution of Einstein's Gravitational Field Equation

It would be tough to apply it to a stationary power plant.

The field equation of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity has never before been solved to calculate the gravitational field of a mass moving close to the speed of light. Felber's research shows that any mass moving faster than 57.7 percent of the speed of light will gravitationally repel other masses lying within a narrow 'antigravity beam' in front of it. The closer a mass gets to the speed of light, the stronger its 'antigravity beam' becomes.

Felber's calculations show how to use the repulsion of a body speeding through space to provide the enormous energy needed to accelerate massive payloads quickly with negligible stress. The new solution of Einstein's field equation shows that the payload would 'fall weightlessly' in an antigravity beam even as it was accelerated close to the speed of light.

I really have no idea. The statement was made in relation to finding a new source of energy that would free the US from dependency on other countries. I didn't understand it, but it had to do with some idea of Einstein's that was ahead of it's time. It's a riddle to me!
