  • ESA researchers generated gravitational field in a way similar to generating magnetic

    The European Space Agency portal features the latest news in space exploration, human spaceflight, launchers, telecommunications, navigation, monitoring and space science.


    Original paper:
    It is well known that a rotating superconductor produces a magnetic field proportional to its angular velocity. The authors conjectured earlier, that in addition to this so-called London moment, also a large gravitomagnetic field should appear to explain an apparent mass increase of Niobium Cooper-pairs. This phenomenon was indeed observed and induced acceleration fields outside the superconductor in the order of about 10^-4 g were found. The field appears to be directly proportional to the applied angular acceleration of the superconductor following our theoretical motivations. If confirmed, a gravitomagnetic field of measurable magnitude was produced for the first time in a laboratory environment. These results may open up a new experimental window on testing general relativity and its consequences using coherent matter.

    So...you Americans with your NASA can keep your chemical rockets for Moon or Mars, ESA will have warp vessels

    While the topic may be interesting, your last sentence makes this thread an unpleasant place.

      Oh c'mon, "" anybody? Together with all advances ESA made in manned/unmanned spaceflight...

        These bastards have stolen my work! I've been trying to prove since I was nine that a spinning mass will produce a gravitational field! They get the credit because they have funding and know math!

        Foiled again!

          Technically, Einstein proved that
          It's just that when the rotating thing is low temparature superconductor, the effect for some reason is much, much stronger - not negligible anymore.

            Did he really?

            Hasnt most of his theories been proved by other scientists through experiments?
            If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

              very cool, I like how they are all scratching there heads and asking for other people to do confirmation experiments. They are all like wtf!

                Check this movie out - http://imdb.com/title/tt0390384/

                Called "Primer" - it deals with, well, all sorts of things, some of which are related to this thread. Very confusing.
