Horizon : The quest for gravity control

Bit short notice but I've just got in from work and saw this in the listings.

Tonight BBC 2 see's what I consider one of the very best documentary series look at Project Greenglow , a project within BAE Systems (M.I.C contractor] to harness the power of gravity for exotic propulsion systems.

Documentary exploring science's long-standing obsession with the idea of gravity control, including recent breakthroughs in the search for loopholes in conventional physics. The programme examines how the groundwork carried out by Project Greenglow in the mid-1990s by UK defence manufacturer BAE Systems has changed the understanding of the universe, making the dream of flying cars and journeys to the stars no longer quite so distant.

Sounds great, hope I can get it here in the antipodes.

i hope it happens soon... how can the world be ending when we're on the brink of so many advancements... i get down from all the doom porn sometimes but then i think how can it be over when we're so close to changing the world... i say we as in humanity not as in me personally contributing to the advancement of the human race haha, I am merely a peon trying not to get crushed

Damn! just got in. I guess there will be a repeat through the week, and I'll be there. Thanks Gorty for the heads up.

Another heads up, Anyone missing the TV can watch it now from the start on BBCI player here,

BBC Horizon and PBS Nova are my favorites, will download tonight from MVgroup or other sites

reducing th eweak forces pull on matter. its nto that hard.

Well worth a watch mate.
Another quality program in the series which didn't herald the discovery of anti grav but showed that this stuff is being seriously researched by various individuals and agencies , the upshot is that maybe the answer lies in space and perhaps the mysterious Dark Energy which may actually be Anti Matter pushing the expansion of the Universe , if confirmed it would be the counter to gravity and key to the puzzle.

After Maxwell derived the equations for Electromagnetism, it took the rest of human civilization to figure out what to do with those equations; microphones, loudspeakers, amplifier coils, transformers, radios, walkie-talkies, tape recorders, televisions, wireless telephones, radar, lasers and even now we're exploring that gap between conventional physics (millions of atoms), quantum theory (interactions between a few basic sub-atomic entities) by exploring what happens with small groups of entities that form standing waves, perpetual vortices, quasi-regular crystals, negative-refractive index materials and superconductors.

I believe in keeping an open mind but I have doubts about some of the issues raised in this programme. For instance I would argue that Dr Martin Tajmar's suggestion for a reactionless propulsion drive is simply wrong. Is anyone interested in having a serious discussion on this and other topics?

Same situation as my opening post , tonight's Horizon looks at Dark Energy.
8.00 pm BBC 2.
