No ‘anti-gravity’?............... 😒

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Darn! Does that mean they have to rewrite all those Sci-Fi novels and movies? Thank God for AI …

[SgtHooper]

Oh BALDERDASH!! More crap based on existing theories. Do ppl ever learn!? There is so much yet to be discovered and learned, around the corner.

[Leaning Right]

If there is no such thing as antigravity, what causes my cow to occasionally fly up into the air?
Answer that one, fancy physics researchers.

No wonder it fell. Anti Gravity particles have half the mass as Gravity particles. Sheesh...Duhhh!!!!

[Rennes Templar]

UFO manufacturers and pilots would disagree.

[Larry Lucido]

Antimatter itself is very real. Made of particles that mostly behave like regular matter, but their electrical charges are reversed, an anti-proton looks just like a proton but has a negative charge, while an anti-electron (or positron) looks and moves just like an electron but has a positive charge. When a bit of antimatter bumps into a bit of matter, they explode

So, a Bizzaro World.

In the pursuit of antigravity, they unwittingly discovered antitime

[UnwashedPeasant]

Einstein was right. I just confirmed it.

[Angelino97]

Anti-gravity must exist. B-movie makers can't afford the visual effects to make everything float in a spaceship.

[Rio]

Seems like your anti-matter would have to have negative mass for this to work.

[chrisser]

This is kind of a good thing.

If you had an antigravity device, but it attracted antimatter to itself, seems like it would then be a pretty useless device as it would pretty quickly be annihilated.

Awesome experiment...
Awesome result...

Albert rocks!
The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Gravity is not a traditional force, it’s a distortion of space-time.

Magnetism is a force but has no energy on its own.. it is a good way to convert energy from one form to another i.e. motion to electrical current.

If you could create a sheet of material that could block gravity or magnetism then you would have a perpetual motion machine... it just ain’t possible. It is as silly as the notion of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps...lol

As an aside, the best vehicle that can possibly be made given the current state of technology is a diesel-electric.
Purely battery powered cars await a breakthrough in battery technology that is not yet in sight (compact super-capacitor batteries of small size/weight with enormous capacity and rapid charge times)

A small, clean diesel drives an efficient generator to charge the batteries. The batteries drive the brushless motors in the wheel hubs. No normal braking system required as magnetic braking is excellent, no transmission needed, massive acceleration possible for short durations... no problems running a heater in winter or air conditioning in summer. No waiting to charge your car, it charges itself. You can drive on electric only for quite a few miles to cut pollution inside cities. Diesel is far safer in an accident compared to gasoline - much less danger of fire... i.e. The gas powered Sherman tank was a burning joke compared to German diesel tanks of WW2

Thank you for the article.
