  1. someone living in magical land? on Practical Gravity Shielding for Spacecraft? · · Score: 1

    What's with all these anti-grav news items?

    From what I can tell there are two feasable theoretical forms of gravity. The first being gravitational waves that are propagated from exotic particles called 'gravitrons' - and unless someone has formed a quantum mechanical model of the gravitron, then what's all the fuss?

    The one I find more feasable is the theory that any mass in some way or another curves space-time from a higher dimention. If you have a basic understanding of Lagrangian/Hamiltonial dynamics then you would know that all systems containing a potential difference will attempt to change in order to minimise this potential. So from the perspective of a higher dimention, the fold trying to unravel itself back to it's normal state is in some way inverstly proportional to the gravitational potential.

    i.e: It's a property of the universes' space-time fabric and not due to exotic gravitron particles.

    So has someone been able to shild the folding of space-time in a higher dimension?
    hmm.. oh well back to the smurfs and munchkins in a happy magical land.
