So, please don't interpret my words as suggesting these things will 'never' happen; all I"m saying is they are not possible right now.
Remember...he allegedly committed suicide by self inflicted gun shot prior to the explosion.

I do agree on anything being possible. And I am more than supportive of the idea that we (mankind) will discover things we never imagined possible...sometime in the future. But it's that last part about the future which is key. We're just not there yet. So, please don't interpret my words as suggesting these things will 'never' happen; all I"m saying is they are not possible right now.
edit - And maybe to frame this a little better (as well as my previous answer about why it wouldn't be kept secret), think about it like this...
A scientific breakthrough like anti-gravity (anything) would be so revolutionary to ALL of mankind that even the simplest example of such a thing would command almost worldwide attention virtually overnight. If for no other reason, this attention would be focused on understanding it better so we could figure out how to utilize this technology to benefit mankind. The way to understand something better is to get more eyes on it, more brains working on it, and different points of view. Practically every area of research would be focused on this like a laser beam because it has just that wide of a potential impact. So, kind of in other words, it would not be limited in use to a military technology even though it would have great benefits to the military...and the rest of humanity.
The other thing to remember here is, the military (in and of itself) is not a research institution. They are a war fighting machine, so they outsource their scientific research to the scientific community. The military simply doesn't have the resources and facilities to do this research themselves.

I don’t think you wholly understand the consequences of if they had actual anti gravity tech. My original statement holds. If you had the tech you wouldn’t have any reason to use submarines. You would be in space. You would have the moon you would already be disabling everything possible in terms of enemy satellites.
But keep believe the Chinese are using subs to deploy anti gravity tech over New Jerseys to scare people.
