the processes that this paper seems to imply are possible seem a little fantastic to me. does anybody on this list who has read the paper (and can maybe grok it a little better than me) tell me what kind of limits are implied, and what kind of actual implications are contained. what could you use this for? and what kind of requirements (power, equipment, controlled environment) would be required to duplicate these effects on a usable scale, if any?

or am i jumping the gun?

also, levitation, like john clark mentioned. that seems like a warping of space time to me. after all, gravity does that to attract things, and negating gravity's hold enough to "float" something, would seem to require a negative gravity spacewarp, or unwarping. (or i could be ignorant and talking out my....)

which would seem to support that kind of phenomena playing into this kind of theory.

i would love for something who can pick apart the equations in this paper to post a support/critique of the paper and some implications as they see them. it looks like a long week for me, poring over my textbooks for a better explanation of ricci equations....

ah, for a mathematics co-processor....

I have a problem with this statement of magnetic fields generating
gravity. Unfortunately, I need to understand better, the general
relativity and the Ricci equation in that paper, to articulate my
discomfort.<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com<br></p>
