Artificial Gravity...

[quote]It demonstrates that a superconductive gyroscope is capable of generating a powerful gravitomagnetic field, and is therefore the gravitational counterpart of the magnetic coil. Depending on further confirmation, this effect could form the basis for a new technological domain, which would have numerous applications in space and other high-tech sectors" says ESA study manager Clovis de Matos. Although just 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth’s gravitational field, the measured field is a surprising one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein’s General Relativity predicts. Initially, the researchers were reluctant to believe their own results.[/quote]


Boo yea!

    Looks like Earth Alliance doesn't need rotating sections after all. ;)

    Wow, it's about time for the humanity to start unveiling the secrets of the gravity. One of the last big uncracked secrets of the nature remaining and a very important one as well. Sounds very exciting.

    But how come that's almost a year old news already and we haven't heard anything about this earlier?

    So when do they send up a lab to test this in orbital migro-gravity?

    Lets make a graviton bomb!

    I'm sure someone's going to find a military application for it.
