Australia, Anti-Gravity and Us

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:

(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
