The possibility of anti-gravity....
Hi Boyd,
Thanks, that was an interesting article.... The interest in anti-gravity stems from the research of a Russian physicist, Yevgeny Podkletnov, which he originally performed in 1992. He claims that by using a ceramic superconductor, he was able to partially shield the earth's gravitational pull, to reduce the pull of gravity on an object by about 2%. If you want to read the words of Podkletnov directly, you can read them here: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cond-mat/9701074 (Click on the "PDF" link to see it as a PDF file.) Podkletnov has not backed away from his claims, though as far as I know others have tried to reproduce his research without any success.... It would be revolutionary if it was true! However, I think it is probably not true, but you never know. :) Here's an interesting (and easier to understand) article from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2157975.stm - Dien Rice |
