Gravity and Shielding

[Fredkc]

Ok then....
This is for SAico, who said we needed less gossip and more 'hard stuff' on the forum.
Gotcha, SAico...

Late last year B & K did an interview where the discussion turned to the government's study and application of anti-gravity technology. The person made the statement that this was regular fare over at Los Alamos National Labs (LANL), for one. (I forget which interview it was. Someone with more energy than I on a Sunday morning might remember who it is)

He stated that LANL had not only published some of their results in this field, but they had mistakenly left it where the public could reach these papers.

Anyway I was in one of those "show me" moods, and so I actually tried it out. His suggestion was to go to their site and search on "Gravity AND shielding". Whadayaknow.. it works!

Here is the link for the search, and what follows is the results, with links (note that by using their search page, you also get links to PDF versions on the papers, which inlude graphics etc).

Some of these are about astro-physics, but some only claim to be limited to that. Look deeper and you'll find many are about gravity shielding and or negating devices, and a bit more.

Now, for those of you who are skittish about going to such places, lest you 'come to someone's attention' Yes, LANL is a government facility which does engage in God knows what, and may take note of your presence. Me, I like surprises

enjoy!

Thanks. the bits I've read so far are exactly what I've been telling people for about a decade or more. (gravitation and time vs superconductors)

I believe it was in the Doc Pete interview that this was mentioned.

fred!!! will with the greatest of pleasures take a look at all of this
