Some would argue that Anti-gravity was the end of WW2 .
We brought home many Nazi scientist along with their discoveries and one of those was Anti-gravity . At-least that's what it said in a dusty book I read once that now sits on a shelf
I've always considered Anti-Matter to be the next great discovery , Well to put it more accurately the Stabilization of Anti-Matter.
Anti-Matter Weapons and General use of Anti-Matter as a Power source the potential is near limitless.
So, while the moon landings were being filmed in a basement somewhere, The nazi scientists were further unlocking the secrets of anti-gravity. Cool.
You're not using the wikipedia definition of anti-gravity, which specifically says what you describe is NOT anti-gravity:

Anti-gravity already existed.
Superconductor Mobius strip
See, when the puck or whatever went around a curve, it counteracted/ignored Inertia. It should have flown off in a straight line in the direction it was moving.
When it went underneath the strip, it counteracted/ignored Gravity. it should have dropped to the ground.
Maglev trains have been doing this for several decades.
Anti-gravity (also known as non-gravitational field) is a hypothetical phenomenon of creating a place or object that is free from the force of gravity. It does not refer to neither the lack of weight under gravity experienced in free fall or orbit, nor to balancing the force of gravity with some other force, such as electromagnetism and aerodynamic lift.
No, it won’t. For perspective, the a-bomb did not start wwii.

After doing a lot of research I strongly believe that antigravity actually does exist and that it appears to be the main reason why the military superpowers of the world are keeping the truth about UFOs a secret. There are many fields of study on antigravity done since the 1920s such as Electrogravitics and Magnetohydrodynamics. The main concept in a nutshell is that two magnetic plates counter-rotating on top and below a superconductor metal will create a powerful electromagnetic field causing lift.
I don't see how the military superpowers will allow this technology to be commercialized and fall into the hands of the public. I strongly believe that the day antigravity technology becomes publicly announced will also be the day when world war 3 will start to unfold. I have a strong feeling that those in power would rather start a nuclear war and send human civilization back to the stone age than to risk having this technology fall into the hands of the average person. I seriously hope I'm wrong.

If you start making up your own definitions, it becomes difficult to know what you're talking about.
You have serious logic flaws there. Assuming what you say about "anti-gravity" as defined by wikipedia is true, substitute "Unicorn" for "anti-gravity" in your statement above and see if you can detect your own logic flaws:

That's amazing that you don't see the irony in saying I made up my own definition about something that, for all intents and purposes, is made up.
Unless you have proof that anti-gravity actually exists everyone's definition is wrong. Including Wikipedia's.
It'll be fun watching you correct everyone when electromagnetic propulsion starts being called 'anti-gravity'.

I always wanted to know what really became of Marcus Hollingshead (www.scribd.com...)...
Anyone ever find out what happened? He claimed to have been picked up by the ESA (European Space Agency).
But this raises so many questions, like how does he know this is happening, since he's just a physics layperson?
In his audio interview with Tim Ventura in September of 2004 Hollingshead says that there are changes in the nucleus of the iron atoms within the RP (composed of layers of purified iron and kapton as the dielectric). The forces "push protons into becoming neutrons" and soon the iron core is no longer pure iron.
Note: it is true that an antineutrino (nubar ?-) colliding with a proton (p+) will yield a neutron (n0) and a positron (e+), or, ?- + 1p+ —> 1no + oe+. If a positron speeds away, there must be something that flies out in the opposite direction, since it has been determined that the positron momentum is not balanced by recoil of the proton. A neutrino, answering this requirement, is thus also emitted. This suggests the iron atoms become an isotope of manganese.
The result, says Hollingshead, is the release of energy and production of a local gravity lensing effect. However he reports that the diminution of iron in the RP results in nuclear byproducts and a reliable gravity lensing effect for a duration of only 2,000 hours.
Iron comes in four stable isotopes, the most common of which is Fe-56, comprising 91.7% of most terrestrial samples. There is also Fe-54 at 5.8%, Fe-57 at 2.2% and Fe-58 at .28%. If a proton of Fe-56 is pushed to become a neutron the result is Mn-56 (Manganese with 25 protons and 31 neutrons). Mn-56 is radioactive and has a half-life of about 2.5 hours. Thus, an "RP" would be rendered into a radioactive (hazardous) material. This isotope may be the undesired "by-product" Marcus refers to in the interview.
I found another post explaining what Ning Li did with the money. It wasn't what she was supposed to do, which was build a prototype:

Another anti-gravity researcher was Ning Li, whose company received a U.S. DOD grant for $448,970 in 2001 to research anti-gravity.

As I recall the scuttlebutt, the funding was to produce a prototype, but she took the money and did basic research to extend the theory, they got peeved with her spending the funding and not doing what she agreed. At some point you just quit hearing about her and it was like she dropped off the face of the earth.
So apparently the Chinese did try to recruit her but she didn't want to go to China.
George said that his mother was visited by Chinese officials on one occasion in 2008 when members of the CCP were visiting America. They did attempt to recruit her back to the country to continue her work, but Li had no interest.
