Hi Folks!

Found this intriguing document called 'Antigravity in a Sandbox', here
is the full URL and an excerpt follows;

"Large objects seem to defy gravity in a shaking box of sand, according
to a report in the 16 November PRL. The authors found that with vigorous
shaking, heavy objects placed in the sand float to the top, while light
objects sink."

"Sand can "flow" when shaken and conform to the shape of a container,
but it's not a fluid. It can support the weight of an object, but it's
not a solid."

(If that's not a dilatant matrix, I don't know what is...check out;

and you'll see what this entails...>>> Jerry)

"But Shinbrot and his Rutgers colleague Fernando Muzzio found a
different effect, one that involves density rather than size. They put
plastic Easter eggs filled with varying amounts of steel shot on a bed
of fine glass powder and shook vigorously, at a range of frequencies
around 10 Hz. The heavier eggs floated as expected, but the lightest
eggs sunk to the bottom. According to Shinbrot, anyone can observe the
effect by filling a jar half-way with salt, placing a steel nut and a
screw bottle-cap (or other high- and low-density objects) inside, and
shaking vigorously."

"Shinbrot and Muzzio propose that the larger inertia of a heavier object
allows it to lift smoothly in the air with each shake, so that the
surrounding powder can easily slide underneath it and gradually raise it
up. A lighter object is more easily jostled by nearby particles,
allowing less opportunity for them to seep underneath it."
===================
Now, this is a mechanical analogue of the dilatant matrix properties
that is applicable to aether/zpe in which we all exist.

Taking the idea that matter, which is dense, is a 'bubble' in the
aether/zpe energies (sand) of space, then this matter, which is more
dense, always precipitates in the direction of such a bubble (hole in
the energy densities) in space.

Perhaps this constant churning of the 'quantum foam' is analogous to the
shaking of the sand, to cause the 'dilatant matix' of the aether to
dither these heavy masses to an area of lesser density.
