At the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque, Dr. Franklin Felber stated that a mass moving faster than 57.7 percent of the speed of light will gravitationally repel other masses lying within a narrow 'antigravity beam' in front of it. This "beam" intensifies as the speed of the mass approaches that of light. http://space.com/businesstechnology/060215_technovel_antigravity.htmlA link to download a PDF file of his paper is located at the bottom of the article.

Interesting, but I doubt it could be used to make anything like what we normally think of as antigravity. Good navigational deflection though...

That's really cool but how does it help us? I mean could it be used in machinery at all?

so is what you are saying is that if something was moving at over 57.7 percent of the speed of light, that it could move things outof the way, like a space ship could move an asteroid out of the way so that it wouldnt suffer any damage, or does it mean that if earth somehow started to move this fast that we would all start floating?

It would gravitationally deflect objects out of the way if you were moving fast enough. The problem would be designing a shuttle that could move at over 57.7 percent of the speed of light. Technically, it would work more like a force field than what you think of when you hear "antigravity".

I always thought, according to E=mc2, that nothing would go past the speed of light because it would just convert mass into energy, or at least I think that's what my teacher said.

It's not going faster than the speed of light.
It's only moving faster than 57 percent.
You see, you only have to go 57 percent full throttle for the system to work.
Don't you just love loopholes.

TheVagrant I always thought, according to E=mc2, that nothing would go past the speed of light because it would just convert mass into energy, or at least I think that's what my teacher said. Hmm, my teacher thought that if you went faster then the speed of light you would travel back in time.

solnya TheVagrant I always thought, according to E=mc2, that nothing would go past the speed of light because it would just convert mass into energy, or at least I think that's what my teacher said. Hmm, my teacher thought that if you went faster then the speed of light you would travel back in time. Noone is quite sure what would happen if you were able to go faster then light. From what we believe now though, we don't have to worry about that since it's impossible.
