Can Superconductors Block Gravitational Fields?
jswitte writes "Raymond Chiao, of the University of California at Berkel, believes that superconductors can convert electromagnetic radiation into gravitational radiation. His full paper can be found here. His theory is based on the idea that superconductors might be able to block the so-called 'gravitomagnetic' field just as they block the electomagnetic field in the famous Meissner effect allowing superconductors to levitate in magnetic fields. He claims that when he 'adds the gravitomagnetic field to the standard quantum equations for superconductivity, he confirms not only the gravitational Meissner-like effect but also a coupling between the two breeds of magnetic field. An ordinary magnetic field sets electrons in motion near the surface of a superconductor. Those electrons carry mass, and so their motion generates a gravitomagnetic field.'"
My cat's breath smells like cat food.
Finally, a first post.

REPULSORLIFTS!!
Finally, I can bullseye womp rats in beggar's canyon.
first post bleh!!!!

I know its off the path but looking for some hobby stuff at Toys R us I saw somthing I had wish for when I saw the Jetson in the 60. A snap together modle kit of the saucer car with family figures! Goes for about 10 dollars.
Dident the guy for DS9 that did the IBM ads have one about flying cars they promest us fly cars?
How heavy is an airplane genius? I bet heavier then air.
one of them turned me into a newt, but i got better
The parent is informative, and you know this how????
Moderators, either get a clue or fess up
It's from the U of Wisconsin, dude. Er...
Now quit slacking off, and get back to work. The fries have been sitting for five minutes, so it's time to make some more!
