More theory and speculation here... In regards to the Anti-grav/sphere
scenario... If we would create a pocket that would be stable, that is, with
a finite size contained in a localized position relative to the devices
motion with its effects ceasing in surrounding space as it passes through, I
believe the sphere would "hover" and center its mass within the "null"
region of gravity, (closest analogy would be like a plane suspended by the
lower pressure of lift). I think that unless you create a rather large
pocket, the sphere will not travel far. Rather, it will appear to hover and
follow along the path of motion relative to the device generating the
field... Like tossing a ball up in a moving car, it doesn't smash through
the rear window, inertia will be preserved... Then, perhaps, the sphere will
be caught in a "static" field, Akin to trapping particles in a beam of
light. (I forgot who had achieved this, If I find where I heard about this,
I'll pass it along).
It would seem that creating a significantly large pocket near the earth
would be a "bad" idea. (depending on your mood, how you feel, or who you ask
;-) ).Large enough it could produce devastating results on a solar-system
level. Even a "moderate" sized void could , in theory, launch massive
objects at awesome acceleration levels (although, not necessarily speeds).
This would cause enormous friction among all the particles racing toward the
center of the void trying to reach equilibrium within. This could lead to
vaporization!!! Not to mention particle collisions an reactions of various
elements in the localized area. Even if the pocket is very short lived, you
could now have a massive object falling down from the center of the void...
However, this theory creates another possibility... If you have a Anti-grav
device that creates small voids (large enough to encompass a vehicle)
mounted on the leading edge of a flight craft, then cycle the unit on and
off... would this provide thrust as the center of mass of the object is
constantly being re-centered in the "null" region? Perhaps...
This is all theoretical speculation induced by an extra hour of drinking. of
course... ;-)
