A while ago I blogged about Dr. Evgenny Podkletnov's antigravity work, and its stunning implications both for propulsion purposes and about its implications for potential weaponization(see MORE FRINGE SCIENCE: BOEING ADMITS ANTI-GRAVITY WORK). Now there's been an update about this same research, and there's an interesting comment in this article that provokes more of our trademark "high octane speculation." The article in question is here:

Update on Podklentov Antigravity Work and Rumors

Note first of all, that Podkletnov is claiming a faster-than-light velocity for his antigravity impulses:

"Podkletnov recently published a peer-review paper on the force beam experiment entitled “Study of Light Interaction with Gravity Impulses and Measurements of the Speed of Gravity Impulses” along with co-author Dr. Giovanni Modanese, and describes the findings of his study, which involved measuring the speed of the force-beam using two separate, but cross-correlated measurement techniques. After careful testing, Podkletnov has found the speed of the antigravity impulse to be approximately 64 times the speed of light (64c), which he indicates does not conflict with modern interpretations of Relativity Theory."

The article also points out the very same weaponization potential that I pointed out in my blog earlier this year about his work:

"Podkletnov maintains that a laboratory installation in Russia has already demonstrated the 4in (10cm) wide beam’s ability to repel objects a kilometre away and that it exhibits negligible power loss at distances of up to 200km. Such a device, observers say, could be adapted for use as an anti-satellite weapon or a ballistic missile shield. Podkletnov declared that any object placed above his rapidly spinning superconducting apparatus lost up to 2% of its weight."

Obviously, such a pulse able to repel objects a kilometer away, and which experiences "negligible power loss at distances of up to 200km" means that in reality such a pulse could repel objects at that distance, and, if such a pulse were powerful enough, simply "crush" or "disintegrate" them.

But what concerns us today, in contradistinction to our earlier blog about Dr. Podkletnov, are the potential implications of the last paragraph of the article:

"An attempt has been made in this work to study the scattering of laser light by the gravity-like impulse produced in an impulse gravity generator (IGG) and also an experiment has been conducted in order to determine the propagation speed of the gravity impulse. The light attenuation was found to last between 34 and 48 ns and to increase with voltage, up to a maximum of 7% at 2000 kV. The propagation time of the pulse over a distance of 1211 m was measured recording the response of two identical piezoelectric sensors connected to two synchronized rubidium atomic clocks. The delay was 631 ns, corresponding to a propagation speed of 64c. The theoretical analysis of these results is not simple and requires a quantum picture. Different targets (ballistic pendulums, photons, piezoelectric sensors) appear to be affected by the IGG beam in different ways, possibly reacting to components of the beam which propagate with different velocities. Accordingly, the superluminal correlation between the two sensors does not necessarily imply superluminal information transmission. Using the microscopic model for the emission given in Chapter 5, we also have estimated the cross-sectional density of virtual gravitons in the beam and we have shown that their propagation velocity can not be fixed by the emission process. The predicted rate of graviton-photon scattering is consistent with the observed laser attenuation."

The clue here is the statement that the superluminal correlation between sensors "does not necessarily imply superluminal information transmission." Now I suspect that the implications here are rather breathtaking both for relativity and for quantum mechanics. On the one hand, light does bend in the presence of a strong mass and its gravitational field. In other words, there is some sort of coupling mechanism between gravity and electromagnetism. So on the other hand, the ability to shield or to create antigravity pulses, as Dr. Podkletnov's latest research seems to indicate, means a similar ability to manipulate the velocity of light itself, as indicated by the above-summarized results of his experiments. And this, in turn, pace relativity theory, is an implied ability to manipulate time itself. In other words, I suspect that these antigravity experiments can be modified in some fashion to explore other aspects of "temporal cloaking" that physicists have been exploring. Antigravity, and the ultimate in such temporal cloaking - the ability to remove an event from the "time stream" and then to reinsert it (presumably, and hopefully) at some point, might just be ever-so-slightly connected. Time will tell if experimental physicists perform such experiments. But given the nature of the black projects culture, and if Dr. Podkletnov's work is any indicator, both in the West and in Russia, I suspect those experiments might already be well under way. Now... since we're crawling way out on the end of the high octane speculation twig, imagine such experiments performed in conjunction with experiments in quantum entanglement....

See you on the flip side...
