Gravitational Repulsion Effect Claimed

TekPolitik writes: "Eugene Podkletnov, the physicist who claimed to have discovered an anomalous gravitational "shielding" effect in the 90s, but withdrew his original paper prior to publication, has finally published a new paper on the topic. The paper describes a new experiment that is related to the original experiment, but the nature of the new experiment is more suggestive of an inverse gravitational effect (that is, the device creates a gravitational push away from it), or in Trekkie terms, a repulsor beam. Aside from claiming to have pushed things around at a distance, Podkletnov claims that the results directly contradict general relativity." Let's see if I can summarize: the author claims that with a certain very cold superconductor transmitting a large quantity of electricity in an intense magnetic field, he has observed a "new" force which repulses objects.

What's New? I've been Repulsive All My Life! by tenzig_112 · 2001-08-07 15:44 · Score: 2, Offtopic

All those years I held the key to unifying the fields... who knew?
People have been telling me for years that my presence pushes people away, that my breath repels people. Now I know why.
