It also comes down to the meaning that you give anti-gravity. Unfortunately the
term is often generalized and used to describe different effects. If you are
speaking of true anti-gravity, we can only speculate on what will happen,
until such a time that we fully understand gravity itself, or we are successful
in building such a device. On the other hand, if you are speaking of
anti-gravity type properties such as weightlessness, weight loss, and such,
then I do not see any problems if the proper precautions are taken. All the
effects of anti-gravity type properties could easily be controlled using
ballasts and propulsion, much in the same way a blimp or submarine is
controlled, and if we understand the method by which we obtain these
properties, then we should also be able to control the amount of the effect and
thus control the object.
