i just posted the paragraphs that caught my eye..see the link at
bottom for the rest. obviously the news made me think of david's
utilization of the russian work in his own research. also very funny
how the mainstream scientists repond to the news... what a cult!

nasa's controversial gravity shield experiment fails to produce

..."after a second round of tests, nasa researchers have failed to
detect signs that a machine can weaken gravity's pull.
but they plan to continue the research ? shocking some mainstream
physicists, who call it junk science.
the researchers say a device that loosens the clutch of gravity,
sometimes called a gravity shield, may be the only way to enable
human spacecraft to blast off to other star systems.
..."but the research lies on the fringe of accepted science. some of
its own proponents admit it flies against virtually every
established law of physics."
other scientists go further.
"good heavens. this is incredible," said robert l. park, director
of the washington, d.c. office of the american physical society,
upon learning that the nasa researchers haven't given up. "i
mean, every physicist i know ? and they must have some on the
staff there ? has told me how absurd this research was."
..."the study was inspired by the work in the early 1990s of a
russian scientist, eugene podkletnov. he claimed to have measured
a weakening of earth's gravity by 2 percent near a specialized
superconductor spinning in a magnetic field."
..."antigravity" research has provoked debate for years.
the idea violates a bedrock principle of physics ? conservation
of energy ? that says you can't create energy from nothing. it
defies this edict because it implies you could lift something without
spending the necessary "price" in energy normally required. then, by
dropping it, you could give it an energy boost equaling the
full "regular" price.
yet several considerations make the concept intriguing to some.
first is a rather striking apparent coincidence: podkletnov's
findings appeared to match phenomena earlier predicted independently
by a university of alabama at huntsville scientist, ning li.
second, many renowned physicists believe nature has an underlying
unity, by which all its forces are fundamentally connected.
this means electromagnetism and gravity are somehow linked.
the "gravity shield" could conceivably operate at the bridge between
the two forces, interacting with both.
the nasa group suggested the link is a recently discovered, exotic
form of energy, "zero-point fluctuations." this consists of minute
particles that flicker in and out of existence in what we normally
think of as empty space.
