  1. isn't gravity a entirely seperate froce? on Can Superconductors Block Gravitational Fields? · · Score: 1

    even though electromagnetic fields can do some strang stuff,such as levitating,the princibles that they work by are different. I always understood gravity as simply a distortion of true space(a nonexistant idea where reality is not distorteted by reletivity,ie light travels in a perfectly straight line in true space but not in reality due to gravity distortion).This distortion has the side effect of pulling things towards it(that old billard ball example crops up again). so how can cooling a substance to a level where ist's electrons behave differnently effect by far teh most fundamental force in the universe(nothing to date has been discovered which can override it,they all just compensate for it). although superconducting might effect things which depend on elctrons and amgnetic fields ,I don't understand how they can effect the entirely seperate force of gravity. However if this idea does prove to be correct it would be very usefull,although some of the more outlandish UFO guys might use it to explain their"theories"
