- -06-11-06 New Observatory "Seeing" Gravity (LATimes.com)
"What makes LIGO different from other observatories is that it doesn't "see" the cosmos by detecting electromagnetic energy in the form of light, radio waves or X-rays. It feels it, measuring waves of gravity that wrinkle space-time like ripples on a lake." 06-06
- 06-23-03 Scientists Begin Quest to Detect Gravity Waves (SpaceDaily.com)
"Armed with one of the most advanced scientific instruments of all time, physicists are now watching the universe intently for the first evidence of gravitational waves." 6-03
- 06-23-03 Speed of Gravity Not Yet Proven (SpaceDaily.com)
"Albert Einstein may have been right that gravity travels at the same speed as light but, contrary to a claim made earlier this year, the theory has not yet been proven." 6-03
Papers
- Gravitons May Link Subatomic Particles and Beginning of Time (UniSci.com - Hogan and Stricherz)
"Unlike subatomic particles that make up matter and energy as we know them, gravitons are elementary particles that compose the fabric of space and time."
" 'No one has ever seen a graviton, but with these new efforts we might,' Hogan said. 'If you can see gravitons in these maps, then you'll start to see the essence of space and time and matter.' " 3-02
- Gravity Shielding Experiments (Fusion Information Center - Dart)
"Although Podkletnov has said that tests ruled out the possibility that the claimed weight loss was the result of magnetic fields or air flow, his statement is suspect." Provides an alternative explanation to the "anti-gravity" effect that Podkletnov claimed for his experiments. 8-02
- Gravity Shielding Experiments (Interprise Mission - Matthews and sample)
"Scientists in Finland are about to reveal details of the world's first anti-gravity device. Measuring about 12 inch across, the device is said to reduce significantly the weight of anything suspended over it."
"The claim -- which has been rigorously examined by scientists, and is due to appear in a physics journal next month -- could spark a technological revolution. By combatting gravity, the most ubiquitous force in the universe, everything from transport to power generation could be transformed." Includes a diagram. 8-02
- Gravity Shielding Experiments (NASA Message Board)
"In my opinion and I could be wrong, but I think that Podkletnov's experiments have produced results that support Kozyrev's time research and not anti-gravitational effects." 8-02
- Gravity Shielding Experiments (Skeggs)
Describes experiments to followup on the report of Podkletnov that he was able to shield some materials from gravity. Some call it an anti-gravity device. 8-02
- Gravity Shielding Experiments - Applications (Brown)
Discusses uses of a possible "anti-gravity" device, based on the work of Eugene Podkletnov. Includes a diagram. 8-02
- Gravity Shielding Experiments Explained (PopularMechanics.com - Wilson)
"Isaac Newton, the first physicist, described gravity as an attraction between two masses (see illustration at top of page). Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity suggests mass actually causes space-time to warp around it. Imagine, for instance, the indentation created by placing a bowling ball on a soft bed.
Both theories explain why apples fall from trees. Scientists consider Einstein's theory superior because it explains also why light–which has no mass–appears to bend in strong gravitational fields."
"Most physicists believe that when NASA flips the switch on its gravity modification experiment, absolutely nothing will happen. Then again, it could start the countdown to a bold new era in space exploration." Editor's Note - The article is dated December, 1997. In August, 2002, Boeing Aircraft announced that it is building an anti-gravity device for NASA. 8-02
- Principia Mathematica (MIT - Burndy)
"[Sir Isaac] Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica is generally esteemed his masterpiece. This great work is often held to represent the culmination of the Scientific Revolution, in which science as we know it today was born." 06-06
- Principia Mathematica (Wikipedia.org)
"The Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Latin: "mathematical principles of natural philosophy", often Principia or Principia Mathematica for short) is a three-volume work by Isaac Newton published on July 5, 1687. It contains the statement of Newton's laws of motion forming the foundation of classical mechanics as well as his law of universal gravitation. He derives Kepler's laws for the motion of the planets (which were first obtained empirically)." 06-06
