Anti-gravity, in sci-fi, is some force or shield that allows an object to fly without generating lift or thrust such that it can be in gravity without being drawn towards the gravity.The Kafers wrote:Capsule Corporation wrote:I am still really curious to find the principle of science upon which anti-gravity is based... That one doesn't make sense outside of graviton particle theories... Is there an anti-grav theory that doesn't involve gravitons?
Absolutely. Any Grand Unified Theory will necessarily imply that artificial gravity can be generated, simply because all forms of energy are really just different manifestations of the single cosmic force such theories postulate. Generating it would be like using magnetism to produce electricity, or electricity to produce magnetism.
(Well, actually, there really isn't any such thing as anti-gravity. There's artificial gravity; what you do is simply generate a field that attracts things in whatever direction you want, and then take care not to shred things with the tidal forces.)
and Grand Unified Theory, unfortunately, does not agree with einstein or newton on this point, as the amount of energy required would have to meet Newton's formulae on gravity.. you would need to create a short-range gravitational pull... but such a thing would only be enough to keep your feet on the ground... every part of your body would feel non-uniform gravity... your stomach would get upset quickly...
I've thought about it... not going to happen
