The Antigravity Underground
from the floating-away dept
The latest issue of Wired Magazine is apparently focused on "super powers". Earlier, we posted an article about what it would take to create an invisibility device, and the next article in their series focuses on anti-gravity devices. Of course, some may say that instead of the "super power" issue, this is quickly turning out to be the "crackpot" issue of the magazine. However, based on these two pieces, it looks like they're looking at crackpot-like ideas and trying to approach them from more reasonable angles. The antigravity piece, specifically, points out that there are tons of skeptics to the concept. While people have been able to make devices that seem to "float", there are compelling non-anti-gravity theories as to why this happens. The article mostly ends up debunking all "anti-gravity" claims, but still makes for an interesting read about those involved on all sides of the research into this technology.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

perpetual motion for the 21st century

My basic AG theory
1.Gravity is a by-product of mass which continually consumes space to maintain it's decaying occupancy.
2.The gravity of the object flows from the outside to the inside.
3.When the object is rotated, certian degrees of deflection happen within the gravity flow.
4.When the object is rotated hard enough the flow of gravity flows from the inside to the outside - Whoohoo - isn't this called CENTRIFUGAL FORCE???
5. Since, in all reality, we're not going to harness "Antimatter" in any abundant quantity (which in theory yields antigravity in its' natural state), we aren't going to be using "Antigravity" like abundant gasoline.
Now if any of what I'm saying makes the least sense and you're interested in in the rest of my theory, you may coorespond with me at my E-mail allan_wilcox@hotmail.com
