What if we could create anti-gravity?

Massive structures could be suspended over bodies of water, or rocky terrains where we wouldn’t otherwise be able to build. But perhaps we’d see the biggest implications of anti-gravity technology when we look even further up – to the stars. Space travel would become a lot safer, and more inexpensive.

Can you shield yourself from gravity?

“In summary, simple shielding of gravity is not possible. Not only would it violate the laws of gravity, it would provide a perpetual motion machine, thereby violating the principle of conservation of energy.

Which force Cannot shield?

No, gravity cannot be shielded like electromagnetism — unless negative mass exists.

Who discovered antigravity?

Thomas Townsend Brown
Thomas Townsend Brown (March 18, 1905 – October 27, 1985) was an American inventor whose research into odd electrical effects led him to believe he had discovered a connection between strong electric fields and gravity, a type of antigravity effect.

What would happen if we could control gravity?

If you could control gravity or inertial forces, you would have a propulsion breakthrough (thrusting without rockets), a means to create synthetic gravity environments for space crews, a means to create zero-gravity environment on Earth – hey that could be fun – and a whole host of other things.

Can gravity be studied for propulsion breakthroughs?

Historically, gravity has been studied in the general sense, but not very much from the point of view of seeking propulsion breakthroughs. With the newly formed NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program, that situation is changing.

Can electromagnetism be used to control gravity?

First, we do know that gravity and electromagnetism are linked phenomena. We are quite adept at controlling electromagnetic phenomena, so one can presume that such a connection might eventually lead to using our control of electromagnetism to control gravity.
