Anti-Gravity / Antigravity Research (General; Miscellaneous)

[EnolaGaia]

There's an article in New Scientist, claiming that soundwaves travel upwards because they have negative mass, and have antigravity.
It's behind a paywall, but frankly sounds like a late April's Fools joke. ...

I believe this is - or is based upon - the following paper:

The mass of sound

This effect can be observed if you've reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.

I'm putting this in here, as it seems to be a legitimate endeavour, but so many have been damned by even looking into the subject in the past that it still seems somewhat toxic.


NASA, DARPA, MIT Scientists Met to Discuss “Anti-Gravity” Tech
It's the "Woodstock of gravity-modification research."

A number of NASA, DARPA, MIT and Air Force scientists met on Zoom in November to discuss something usually reserved for fringe theorists and cranks: how to defeat gravity, The Debrief reports.

The inaugural Alternative Propulsion Energy Conference (APEC) was formed to give scientists a chance to discuss taboo — and, to be fair, often far-fetched — ideas that fall outside the confines of mainstream science.

There have been 22 meetings in the series since then, according to The Debrief‘s reporting, with scientists discussing topics ranging from Non-Newtonian Em Propulsion to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings.

In other words, it’s the “Woodstock of gravity-modification research,” as Ron Kita, the founder of a venture called Chiralex that’s working on “gravitational shielding” materials, called it in a quote for the event’s homepage.

Still the best introduction to this field is Nick Cook's The Hunt for Zero Point. Also of more general relevance is Paul LaViolette's Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, although this is almost entirely concerned with the Biefield Brown effect. It seems that it is not uncommon for people connected with alleged breakthroughs in this field to go off the radar. Kammler, who headed the Nazis' exotic research effort, with special interest in the Bell device that may have generated very high rotational speeds using plasma rather than solid objects, went missing for many years, although evidence has now come out that he was indeed acquired along with other top Nazis under the US Paperclip project.

The claims of propellantless propulsion are now up to sufficient thrust to counter Earth's gravity, as well as other anomalous effects...

‐-----------------------------
Dr. Charles Buhler, a NASA engineer and the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed that his company’s propellantless propulsion drive, which appears to defy the known laws of physics, has produced enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity.

....

Another unusual result from their tests was that sometimes the tested devices did not require a constant input of electrical charge to maintain their thrust. Given that the device already appears to violate the known laws of physics by creating thrust without propellant, this result even stumped Dr. Buhler and his team.

“We can see some of these things sit on a scale for days, and if they still have charge in them, they are still producing thrust,” he told Ventura. “It’s very hard to reconcile, from a scientific point of view because it does seem to violate a lot of energy laws that we have.”

Don't overlook the fact that Buhler states quite clearly that his research is not associated with NASA or the US Government, so he couldn't get them interested.

If the process really produces thrust they soon will be; but if not (which is more likely) then not.

I thought they were interested initially, but dropped out after claims could not be substantiated.
