Re: Anti-gravity

Is anti-gravity even possible?
Are the stories that some scientific research has come close to it true?
For example Podkletnov.

Supposedly some people in the US also took up research into this after that came out.

Antimatter is real.  It is possible that antimatter distorts space-time in a manner opposite to normal matter.  We won't know until we make enough of it for the effect to be measurable.

Gravity shielding is different from antigravity.  We don't really know enough about gravity waves (including if they exist) to know if they can be reflected or refracted, but there are some major gravity wave detection efforts underway (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_waves).  Podkletnov's "result" had not been replicated as of mid 2004. 

We'll probably have to wait until the twenty-teens for more information.
