Anti-Gravity Device Patented

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the shouldn't-it-have-to-work-before-you-patent dept.

October_30th writes "According to the United States Patent Office website, Boris Volfson has recently patented a "Space vehicle propelled by the pressure of inflationary vacuum state", which is essentially an anti-gravity propulsion device." The validity of this patent remains to be seen, but the general consensus of the physics community seems to be that it is complete malarky.

  1. rather than power a craft by ANTI-GRAVITY by way2trivial · · Score: 0, Redundant

    we should harness gravity thusly.
    let's learn how to block gravity waves on one side, and let the mass of the universe pull on the other side.

    with "GRAVITIUM" (either a substance or energy field) blocking the pull of the planet completely
    (in the shape of a disc at the bottom of our craft) the rest of the universe will pull us out of the atmosphere pretty damn quickly.
