    Step 1 in understanding the issue: Gravity is *_NOT_* a "force".

    If that gravitational device at the defence lab is what they are prepared to show us, imagine what they are not showing?

    No. This snippet belies a woeful lack of understanding of how we understand gravity. Gravity is not a force so much as a field. Using this model it doesn't push or pull so we can't reverse it. A couple of cranks playing with equations isn't a breakthrough.

    Fields have direction, flow, and are reversible in our understanding. You make no sense. Are we anywhere near understanding this? Probably not. But you STATING it is impossible, against many scientists thoughts, mean you are unable to think scientifically.

    Gravity is a "dent" in space-time so unless someone figures out how to manipulate mass or create some sort of "anti-mass", better forget about it.

    We have to understand what gravity actually and how it works, then we can focus on reversing its attracting energy. I would suggest that gravity is nothing more than the energy of atoms being drawn together through electromagnetic attraction. Repelling this will need an intimate understanding of electromagnetic attraction.

    If gravity is the way in which energy and matter affect space-time, reversing that relationship would require either changing the way in which space-time is affected or changing the nature of energy and matter. Space-time is an apparently universal structure about which we know almost nothing and the little we know shows that it must be reevaluated from time to time. I suppose we would be left to invert the nature of energy and matter in the hope that their effect on space-time would also be reversed. One supposes that antigravity would make it possible to move in space as if it were not deformed or its deformation was inverse to that produced by a certain normal object. That doesn't seem viable if what you're looking for is to change the reaction of the space to a normal object.

    The concept of anti spacetime sounds a bit alarming. I can imagine harnessing the energy from a black hole to create wormholes might have a similar effect. But with the human capacity to make mistakes I can also imagine billions of lives lost due to some tragic oversight.

    If dark matter exists, it is probably inherently antigravity. But how would you collect and force together something that repels.

    Dark Matter can only be detected as it has normal gravity Dark Energy however is repulsive

    Interesting, so we managed to move 1 atom with a laser. Now we just need to move A human's body weighing 154 pounds (70 kilograms) comprised of 7 billion billion billion atoms (that's a 7 followed by 27 zeros!).

    Before you can control it you need to understand it. So far gravity is not explained from our physics, either UGT or quantum.

    Of course it is, we just need to reverse the polarity of the time circuit to harness the true powers.

    That has nothing to do with gravity. You might as well point out how elevators overcome gravity. Or standing up out of your chair for that matter.

    Is Anti-gravity Even Possible? | Weird Science | BBC Studios 1657pm 31.12.23 the BBC should know.... but, as some sap agreed with me many years ago, the BEEB usually just posit something and dont actually tell you anything which would give you any insight into any findings... 9 mins of waffle which does not tell us anything................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................the concept of magnets.

    I have no doubt that there is some way to affect, or control, the force of gravity .. and that we just haven't gotten there yet. One of the biggest problems in all pf physics is a "quantum theory of gravity". That said, this video is crackpot garbage. The joker who said it would take the mass energy of Earth to propel a space craft to the nearest star to our sun is .. wrong. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon by another force (and gravity is NOT a "force"). I feel like that's a fairly well understood reality at this point. This was terrible and misleading and I don't know why but I expected better from the BBC.
