How Do These "ROCKETS" Escape The Earth's GRAVITY? | Antigravity Devices Community

What mechanism do the "Rockets" Use to escape Earth's Gravity? 

Rockets are our species' best way of escaping the atmosphere of Earth and reaching space. But the process behind getting these machines to work is far from simple. Here's what you need to know about getting a rocket into space. 

How rockets lift off

Writers and inventors have dreamt of exploring the universe beyond Earth for centuries, but the real challenges of traveling into space only became clear in the 19th century. Experimental balloon flights showed that Earth's atmosphere thins out rapidly at high altitudes, and so even before powered flight became a reality, engineers knew that devices that create a forward or upward force by pushing against a surrounding medium like air — such as wings and propellers — would be of no use in space. 

Another problem was that combustion engines — machines such as steam or gasoline engines that generate power by burning fuel in the oxygen from Earth's atmosphere — would also fail in airless space.

Fortunately, a device that solved the problem of generating force without a surrounding medium had already been invented — the rocket. Initially used as weapons of war or in fireworks, rockets generate a force in one direction, called thrust, by the principle of action and reaction: exhaust fumes released by explosive chemicals are pushed out of the back of the rocket at high speed, and as a result the rocket is pushed in the other direction, regardless of any surrounding medium, NASA explains in this primer.

The key to using rockets in space is to carry a chemical called an oxidant that can perform the same role as oxygen in Earth's air and enable the fuel to combust.

Space Shuttle liftoff

The first person to seriously study the rocket's potential for space travel, Russian schoolteacher and amateur scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, first published his conclusions in 1903. He correctly identified the launch as one of the biggest challenges — the moment where the rocket has to carry all the fuel and oxidant it needs to reach space — as its weight is at a maximum and a huge amount of thrust is needed just to get it moving.

As the rocket gets underway it sheds mass through its exhaust, so its weight is reduced and the same amount of thrust will have a greater effect in terms of accelerating the rest of the rocket. Tsiolkovsky came up with various rocket designs and concluded that the most efficient setup was a vertically launched vehicle with several 'stages' — each a self-contained rocket that could carry the stages above it for a certain distance before exhausting its fuel, detaching and falling away. This principle, still widely used today(opens in new tab), reduces the amount of dead weight that needs to be carried all the way into space. 

Tsiolkovsky devised a complex equation that revealed the necessary thrust force needed for any given rocket maneuver, and the "specific impulse" — how much thrust is generated per unit of fuel — needed for a rocket to reach space. He realized that the explosive rocket propellants of his time were far too inefficient to power a space rocket, and argued that liquid fuels and oxidants, such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, would ultimately be needed to reach orbit and beyond. Although he did not live to see his work recognized, Tsiolkovsky's principles still underpin modern rocketry.

Taking flight

Rockets must delicately balance and control powerful forces in order to make it through Earth's atmosphere into space.

A rocket generates thrust using a controlled explosion as the fuel and oxidant undergo a violent chemical reaction. Expanding gases from the explosion are pushed out of the back of the rocket through a nozzle. The nozzle is a specially shaped exhaust that channels the hot, high-pressure gas created by combustion into a stream that escapes from the back of the nozzle at hypersonic speeds, more than five times the speed of sound. 

Isaac Newton's third law of motion(opens in new tab) states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so the "action" force that drives the exhaust out of the rocket nozzle must be balanced by an equal and opposite force pushing the rocket forward. Specifically, this force acts on the upper wall of the combustion chamber, but because the rocket motor is integral to each rocket stage, we can think of it acting on the rocket as a whole.

Delta II rocket launch

Although the forces acting in both directions are equal, their visible effects are different because of another of Newton's laws, which explains how objects with greater mass need more force to accelerate them by a given amount. So while the action force rapidly accelerates a small mass of exhaust gas to hypersonic speeds each second, the equal reaction force produces a far smaller acceleration in the opposite direction on the far greater mass of the rocket.

As the rocket gains speed, keeping the direction of motion closely aligned with the direction of thrust is critical. Gradual adjustments are needed to steer the rocket towards an orbital trajectory, but a severe misalignment can send the rocket whirling out of control. Most rockets, including the Falcon and Titan series and the Saturn V moon rocket, steer using gimballed engines, mounted so that the entire rocket motor can pivot and vary the direction of its thrust from moment to moment. Other steering options include using external vanes to deflect the exhaust gases as they escape the rocket engine — most effective with solid-fueled rockets that lack a complex motor — and auxiliary engines, such as small thruster rockets mounted on the sides of the rocket stage.

How a rocket's motors work

Modern rocket motors have come a long way from fireworks, the first in rocket history. Relatively simple solid rockets, most often used as boosters to provide extra thrust at launch, still rely on the same basic principle of igniting a tube containing a combustible mix of fuel and oxidant. Once ignited, a solid rocket will continue to burn until its fuel is exhausted, but the rate at which fuel is burnt — and therefore the amount of thrust — can be controlled by changing the amount of surface exposed to ignition during different times in the rocket's flight. 

This can be done by packing the fuel/oxidant mix with a hollow gap down the center, running along the length of the rocket. Depending on the profile of this gap, which may be circular or star-shape, for instance, the amount of exposed surface will change during the flight.

The more widespread liquid-fueled rockets are far more complex. Typically, they involve a pair of propellant tanks — one each for the fuel and the oxidant — connected to a combustion chamber through a complex maze of pipes. High-speed turbopumps driven by their own independent motor systems are used to deliver liquid propellant into the chamber through an injection system. The rate of supply can be throttled up or down depending on requirement, and fuel can be injected as a simple jet or a fine spray. 

Inside the combustion chamber an ignition mechanism is used to begin combustion — this may be a jet of high-temperature gas, an electric spark or a pyrotechnic explosion. Rapid ignition is critical — if too much fuel/oxidant mixture is allowed to build up in the combustion chamber than a delayed ignition can generate enough pressure to blow the rocket apart, a catastrophic event that rocket engineers laconically refer to as a "hard start" or "rapid unscheduled disassembly" (RUD).

The detailed design of a liquid rocket stage can vary a lot depending on its fuel and other requirements. Some of the most efficient propellants are liquefied gases such as liquid hydrogen, which is only stable at very low temperatures — around minus 423 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 253 degrees Celsius). Once loaded aboard the rocket, these cryogenic propellants must be stored in heavily insulated tanks. Some rockets avoid the need for an ignition mechanism using hypergolic propellants that ignite spontaneously on contact with each other. 

Interplanetary travel

Rockets are the key to exploring our solar system, but how do they go from orbit to deep space?

The first stage of any spaceflight involves launch from Earth's surface into a relatively low orbit around 124 miles (200 km) up, above the vast majority of the atmosphere. Here gravity is almost as strong as it is on the surface, but friction from Earth's upper atmosphere is very low, so if the uppermost stage of the rocket is moving fast enough it can maintain a stable, circular or elliptical trajectory where the pull of gravity and the vehicle's natural tendency to fly off in a straight line cancel each other out.

Many spacecraft and satellites travel no further than this low Earth orbit (opens in new tab)(LEO), but those destined to leave Earth entirely and explore the wider solar system need a further boost in speed to reach escape velocity — the speed at which they can never be pulled back by our planet's gravity. 

The escape velocity at Earth's surface — 6.9 miles per second (11.2 km/s) — is about 50% faster than the typical speeds of objects in LEO. It gets lower at a greater distance from Earth, and probes bound for interplanetary space are often first injected into elongated or elliptical orbits by a carefully timed burst of thrust from an upper-stage rocket, which may remain attached to the spacecraft for the rest of its interplanetary flight. In such an orbit the spacecrafts' distance from Earth can range from hundreds to thousands of miles, and its velocity will also vary, reaching a maximum when the spacecraft is closest to Earth — a point called perigee — and slowing down further out. 

Nuclear thermal rocket

Surprisingly, however, the critical rocket burn used to escape into interplanetary space is usually made when the spacecraft is near perigee. This is due to the so-called Oberth effect(opens in new tab), an unexpected property of rocket equations that means a rocket is more efficient when it is moving at higher velocity. 

One way to understand this is that burning a spacecraft's fuel allows the engine to utilize not only its chemical energy, but also its kinetic energy, which is greater at higher speeds. On balance, the additional rocket thrust needed to reach escape velocity from a low altitude at higher speed is less than that needed to escape from a high altitude when moving at a lower speed.

Spaceflight engineers and mission planners often refer to the "Delta-v" required to accomplish a specific flight maneuver, such as a change in orbit. Strictly speaking, the term Delta-v means change in velocity, but engineers use it specifically as a measure of the amount of impulse, or thrust force over time, needed to accomplish a maneuver. Broadly speaking, missions are planned around a "Delta-v budget" — how much thrust they can generate for how long using the spacecraft's onboard fuel supplies. 

Sending a spacecraft from one planet to another with minimum Delta-v requirements involves injecting it into an elliptical orbit around the sun, called a Hohmann transfer orbit. The spacecraft travels along a segment of the elliptical path that resembles a spiral track between the orbits of the two planets, and requires no further thrust along its journey. On arrival at its target object it may use gravity alone to enter its final orbit, or it may require a burst of rocket thrust in the opposite direction — usually accomplished by simply turning the spacecraft around in space and firing the motor — before it can achieve a stable orbit.

Was He Telling The truth About UFOs at S-4? | Antigravity Devices Community

Was "Bob LAZAR" telling the truth about UFOs?

Over the past few months, there’s been a lot of information put out on the Net regarding Lazar. Some of it was fresh, some older and well known. A lot of questions have been raised, but solid answers have been tough to come by.

What is the real story here? Someone probably knows, but just who that someone is, I don’t know. I do know it’s not me!

Whatever theory you subscribe to, remember this: It needs to explain ALL aspects of the case, not just the blatant or easy ones. To come up with a theory that explains it all (The Unified Bob Theory??) is not an easy thing to do.

Lazar is lying, and fabricated the whole story.

This is the knee-jerk answer, but I don’t buy it for a second. The fatal flaw to this is that Lazar brought a pack of his friends out on 3 occasions to view operations of something very strange. Also, there has been a bit of corroboration to some parts of his story. This theory, while comforting to many, just doesn’t explain it all.

Lazar is telling the truth.

Ah, the other extreme. I can’t buy this either. If he’s being fully truthful, then why does he insist on clinging to his bogus claims of CalTech and MIT degrees? Also, with the possible exception of Los Alamos, Lazar hasn’t suffered from the mysterious loss of his records, as he’s claimed. There are plenty of Lazar records to be found.

Well hell! If he’s not lying, but not telling the truth, what’s going on? Probably something in between, making things difficult for us.

Lazar is simply retelling a story he heard from someone else who worked at Groom or Papoose.

This theory has several variations, including the idea that he got the story while regularly visiting one of the local brothels and the story was passed on from one of the girls, who got it from her clients. The major problems with this is again the educational background, the precision with which Lazar called the test nights, and also the apparent fact that government agents were witnessed at Lazar’s home by others. Further, the tale Lazar told his friends seemed to evolve over time.

Lazar had some sort of position at Groom Lake, and heard stories and rumors of Papoose.

A possibility. However given the strong compartmentalization going on, it’s highly unlikely such detailed stories would be floating around Groom. Were that the case, other Groom workers would have picked it up also, and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Lazar was at S-4, but it was a setup, and he was shown what he was “supposed” to see. 

The idea behind this theory is that the government wanted to get out some dis-information (for uncertain purposes) and staged the episode for Lazar’s benefit, knowing of his association with Lear, and inability to keep it secret. If that’s the case, some elements might be real (the flight test), but others false (the other 8 craft). Bringing in Lazar at lengthy intervals, essentially on his own, having him closely shadowed by security while at S-4 points in this direction. I think most of us severely underestimate the cleverness of the folks out around Groom. They are not stupid! This doesn’t deal with his academic background however. If this is indeed the case, then whoever dreamed up this operation probably got fired as a result of the major tourist influx it eventually generated. I kind of like this one, but it doesn’t explain everything.

Lazar was at S-4, but had his mind mucked with.

While perhaps outlandish, this is an “explain it all” theory. By installing the certainty in Lazar that he does have degrees from MIT and CalTech, among other things, he’s easily discredited, and the real memories he might possess dismissed. Is it real or is it Memorex? The two variations on this theory hold that the mind mucking was planned from the start as dis-information, or that it was done after he bolted from the program. The big question is do we have such mind manipulating capabilities? However, Lazar has undergone hypnosis and some cracking of such implanted memories should have occurred. Even so, I find it hard to fathom that Lazar, when presented with evidence that he never attended the schools he’s claimed, didn’t start an investigation of his own into alternate possibilities. Another theory I find somewhat attractive.

Lazar was at S-4, but has been bought off.

This theory holds that this entire episode was orchestrated. Lazar, due to his financial situation, was “hired” or used as part of a dis-information effort and has participated willingly. Part of his contract would include his insistence of his degrees, casting just enough doubt on him that his story becomes gray. His story becomes a classic mixture of truth and lies. Were this the case, then not even Lazar’s friends would know. If this theory is correct, then what actually is at S-4 is anyone’s guess. Again, another “explain it all” theory. Intellectually, I like this one a lot, but emotionally it doesn’t feel right.

Lazar and friends have concocted the story for financial reasons.

A theory I can’t subscribe to. The amount of money these boys have been pulling in is chump change, compared to if they REALLY wanted to market it. Now what constitutes chump change is admittedly subjective, but considering the time involved, ridicule and abuse, I can’t see them getting a reasonable return. Then there is the problem that some of the story has been corroborated. Also, if it were just a money making scam, they could come up with a much better story for Lazar’s lack of educational background.

Whew! Well, that’s it. Take your pick. It’s all true, and none of it’s true. If you’re looking for closure, well, I guess you’re out of luck. There are no answers, only more questions. Learn to enjoy the process, and force yourself not to leap to conclusions, the conclusions will eventually become obvious.

Above all…Think for yourself!

Does The Ancient Egypt Has Anything To Do With Modern Aliens UFOs Phenomena? | Antigravity Devices Community

What were the Mysteries of Ancient Egypt?

Ancient Egypt’s architectural and engineering accomplishments continue to amaze (and confound) historians. From the towering Pyramid of Giza, to iconic sculptures of sphinxes and gods, the Egyptians were undoubtable masters of craftsmanship. Here, we examine what we know about these creations and debunk some of the misconceptions that surround them. 

The civilization known as Ancient Egypt originated around 3,500 BCE, and was conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. In the millennia between, the Egyptians made vast strides in almost every area of culture and science. Their influence played a major role in Greek and Roman civilizations, which later inspired modern Western civilization – so if you look, you can feel their legacy reverberating through the modern world. 

 

Despite our desire to understand the ancient Egyptian civilization, there is a mystery at the heart of their mastery of architecture and engineering – a mystery with an answer that lies buried along with the pharaohs. Their incredible technological acuity indicates that the ancients knew something we have since forgotten. Let’s examine some of the ancients’ most notable feats, which might shed some light on the mysteries of our own civilization.

 

Engineering Miracles Of Ancient Egypt: Pyramid Fever

What comes to mind when you think of ancient Egypt? Most likely, it’s the pyramids – those towering sculptures that rise up from the desert and signify so much of what human civilizations hold dear.

 

Egypt’s first pyramid is known as the Step Pyramid.

It was built in honor of a pharaoh named Djoser (sometimes spelled Zoser), who ruled during Egypt’s third dynasty. Like most pyramids, it is first and foremost a tomb, designed to provide the souls of its occupants with the most opulent afterlife possible. 

“The pyramids are there as mountains of stone proving the otherworldly nature of their god-kings. You stand in front of those pyramids and you feel it’s impossible to build such a thing…[That means] the propaganda is still working.” —Kara Cooney, Professor of Ancient Egyptian Architecture, UCLA

 

Historians believe that the Step Pyramid was designed by an architect named Imhotep, who played an important role in the development of modern writing and is also known as the patron saint of modern physicians. The pyramid began as a mastaba tomb – a structure with a flat roof and sloped sides. Constructed using 11.6 million cubic feet of stone and clay, the pyramid stands on top of 3.5 miles of mysterious tunnels. 

The complex contains countless rooms, as well as several courts, altars, and an underground palace, presumably designed so the ruler could live out his afterlife in style. The king’s sarcophagus lies at the very bottom of the subterranean labyrinth of passageways, many of which lead to false doors or branch off to additional clusters of tunnels. 

 

After the Step Pyramid's completion, construction of similar structures took off. In Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty (2680-2560 BCE), the more familiar smooth-sided pyramid form was developed. Eventually, this would lead to the construction of the greatest pyramid of all.

 

The Great Pyramid Of Giza: Egypt’s Crown Jewel

In the heart of the city of El Giza stands the Giza Pyramid Complex, also known as the Necropolis. This architectural marvel contains three pyramids: the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and of course, the Great Pyramid of Giza. Though each was created for a different pharaoh, many historians are convinced that their collective design is cohesive and intentional, as the arrangement of these structures is possibly a representation of the Orion constellation. (This isn’t the only way that these pyramids have been linked to the cosmos, but we’ll get to that later).

 

The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest and newest of the three. Built around 2,490 BCE, it stands 61.1 meters tall and 108.5 meters wide, and its main feature is its complicated mortuary temple. The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid in ancient Egypt, standing around 136.4 meters tall and 215.5 meters wide. Built around 2,540 BCE, it contains a network of funerary chambers and is made of blocks weighing two tons each.

 

The Complex’s crown jewel is the Great Pyramid. Most believe that it was erected under the watchful eye of the pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, to be a tomb where the king would complete his transformation into a god in the afterlife. Today, it is a mind-blowing structure even if you know nothing about its technological mysteries. Standing 146.7 meters high and stretching 234.4 meters wide, it looms above everything around it. The Egyptians assembled it from 2.5 million stone blocks, some of which came from over 500 miles away, which is particularly amazing when you consider that they didn’t have the use of wheels at the time – and that construction took only 20 years!

 

“Know thyself deathless and able to know all things, all arts, sciences, the way of every life. Become higher than the highest height and lower than the lowest depth. Amass in thyself all senses of animals, fire, water, dryness and moistness. Think of thyself in all places at the same time, earth, sea, sky, not yet born, in the womb, young, old, dead, and in the after death state.” —Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian proverb

 

Whoever designed and built the pyramids had incredibly detailed knowledge and architectural skill. When completed, the pyramid towered over the city, and its corners aligned almost exactly with the points of a compass. In general, Egyptians often oriented structures to true north quite precisely, likely using stars such as Polaris to orient their work, and the Great Pyramid is no exception.

 

How The Pyramids Were Made: Ropes, Canals, And, Aliens?

The origins and composition of the Great Pyramid, our oldest wonder of the world (and its slightly less famous kin), have long confounded scholars. How did engineers manage to achieve the seemingly impossible feats that building these masterpieces would require?

Well, the truth is that nobody knows for sure.

While some believe that construction workers may have used large ramps to transport the stones, this theory has been largely disproven, as there is little archeological evidence to support the claim. 

Naturally, “New Age” explanations are abundant, with the most extreme theories arguing that aliens must have constructed the pyramid. It’s true that it would’ve been difficult for humans to build the pyramids, and there is precious little historical evidence of how they were built. Citing this lacuna, as well as the architectural and scientific questions that surround the pyramids, many superstitious people have proposed that aliens came to Earth in ancient times and helped kick-start civilizations. 

 

“The Great Pyramid has lent its name as a sort of by-word for paradoxes; and, as moths to a candle, so are theorisers attracted to it.” —Flinders Pietrie, The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh,1883

 

According to these superstitions, the aliens were instrumental in helping ancient Egyptians build their masterpieces. Believers argue that in order to design the pyramids as they are, one would need a bird’s eye view – the kind that could be provided from, say, a flying saucer. They also believe that in order to create an object that obeys the so-called Golden Ratio, a mathematical relationship based on the special number Phi, the Egyptians would have needed help from outside sources.

 

The alien theory has persisted to present day. 

In 2001, Russian scientist Dr. Viktor Ivanovich claimed that the KGB had found ancient alien remains inside the Great Pyramid. This idea has also appeared in many forms in pop culture, with shows like X-Files promoting the idea that architects and historians have been hiding evidence of alien activity for hundreds of years.

 

Certainly, the Great Pyramid’s inner network of shafts, passageways, and chambers is so intricate that it’s not hard to understand why people believed that some kind of divinity or super-intelligence was involved. On the other hand, there is extensive evidence that explains both how and why the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.

 

While we don’t know the exact details of how they were built, we do know for sure that the pyramids were constructed by skilled Egyptian craftsmen who lived in nearby compounds during the project. Today, most scholars believe that the pyramid stones were lifted from nearby quarries, and put in place with some kind of rudimentary pulley system. There is also some evidence that the stones were transported along the Nile River on boats via a canal system. Even though the pyramids’ construction appears to be miraculous, they were definitely made by human hands. 

 

Like time capsules, the pyramids are physical symbols of ancient wisdom. Made of glittering golden limestone, and always remaining around a cool 20 degrees centigrade inside, they provide glimpses of an ancient society that once neared the kind of technological intelligence we possess today. Perhaps in two thousand years, historians will speculate about the extraterrestrial origins of our fallen civilization – though it’s more likely they’ll wonder at how and why we created so many cell phones in such a short time.

 

Marvel Of Art And Science: The Sphinx

 

The Ancient Egyptians may have been quite good with rocks and stones, but at heart, they were artists, perpetually working to recreate the images of myths, kings, and gods. Of all their marvelous sculptural works, their most famous might be the Sphinx.

 

Like its pyramid counterparts, the Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the largest and most mysterious ancient structures in the world. At 240 feet long and 66 meters wide, the sphinx crouches on its forearms and haunches but looks ready to spring into action at any moment. It is often seen as a statue of solar worship, because it faces due East and because the lion is a symbol traditionally associated with the sun.

 

No one knows for sure who created this grand hybrid creature, but historians suspect that it was erected in honor of Pharaoh Khafre – the son of Khufu (who was responsible for constructing the Great Pyramid of Giza), though there isn’t much evidence to support even this claim. 

 

We do know that, unlike the pyramids, the Sphinx was not constructed from many different pieces. It was carved from a single block of limestone, which remains a miraculous feat in itself. Naturally, some people have outlandishly proposed that aliens had a hand in creating the Sphinx, too, going as far as citing similarities between the Sphinx’s visage and a humanoid “face” that appeared in a satellite photo of Mars.

 

Today, the enormous (and definitively manmade) statue still stands even after extensive vandalism and weathering, including thousands of years of having been buried almost entirely under the sand until it was dug up in the 1930s. 

 

The Great Sphinx is Egypt’s most famous tribute to this sacred feline creature, but archaeologists have unearthed thousands of sphinx statues over the years. Some other famous ones include the alabaster sphinx of Memphis, now part of an open-air museum, and the ram-headed sphinxes of Thebes, of which there were originally about 900. 

 

The sphinx appears across Egyptian, Asian, and Greek mythology, and it’s always a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Sphinx statues were typically placed in front of pyramids, as it was believed that these creatures would guard the spirits of the dead. 

 

From Measurement To Hieroglyphs: Other Technologies Of Ancient Egypt

Whether or not they were blessed by alien visitors, the ancient Egyptians have provided us with some of the most important technologies humans have created. They developed modern writing technologies, including ink made of a brew of gum, soot, and beeswax; and they used the ink to write on the first paper on record, papyrus, which is crafted from the pith of the Cyperus papyrus plant. Putting their paper and ink to good use, they developed an intricate lettering system that used some 1,000 characters. The hieroglyphs survived and eventually evolved into the Phoenician alphabet, the oldest alphabetical lettering system on record. They also made strides in agriculture, inventing highly advanced cutting tools and pioneering the first iterations of technologies like the ox-drawn plow and the sickle around 4,000 BCE. 

 

Arguably, the ancient Egyptians set the stage for the hyper-advanced civilization we live in now, where we measure the grandeur of civilizations by their tallest buildings and their rapid technological growth. Unlike us, though, the Egyptians did not think they were building testaments to the living. Their work was always intended for the spirits of the dead, and if King Ramses II’s ghost is still living it up in his giant tomb in the Valley of the Kings, maybe he’s laughing at our fragile modern infrastructure (here’s looking at you, NYC subways), confident that his civilization’s legacy will outlast the ravages of time. 

 

As the ancient Arabic proverb says, “Man fears time, time fears the pyramids.”

Do these Extraterrestrials Want To Dominate The Whole World? | Antigravity Devices Community

Are we still being visited by Extraterrestrials?

The world is likely to find alien life, It could happen even sooner depending how many civilizations are out there to be found. To understand this will help us to know about someone's name "Frank Drake".

Drake is the least lonely man on Earth—if not in the entire galaxy. Most of us are reserving judgment on whether there is intelligent life on other planets; we haven’t even found bacteria yet, much less a race of aliens with Internet service and takeout food. But Drake, an astrophysicist and chairman emeritus of the California-based SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, has no such doubts.

It was in 1961, when he was working at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, W. Va., that Drake developed the eponymous—and now famous—Drake Equation, which calculates how many advanced and detectable civilizations there should be in the Milky Way in any one year. The number turns out to be potentially huge, and while it’s admittedly based on a number of Earth-centric suppositions—the collapse of any one of which calls much of the equation into question—all of those suppositions are based in increasingly solid science.

Start with the number of stars in our galaxy, which is conservatively estimated at 100 billion, though is often cited as three times that. Of those 100 billion, from 20% to 50% probably harbor planetary systems—an estimate that becomes more and more reliable as the Kepler Space Telescope and various ground-based observatories detect increasing numbers of exoplanets.

Not all of those exoplanets would be capable of sustaining Earth-like life, so the equation assumes from 1 to 5 in any system could. Of those bio-friendly worlds, from 0% to 100% would actually go on to develop life. And of those world, in turn, from 0% to 100% would develop life forms that we would consider intelligent.

The mere existence of intelligent life forms tells us nothing, however, unless they have the ability to make themselves known—which means to manipulate radio waves and other forms of electromagnetic signaling. Drake estimates that from 10% to 20% of the smart civilizations would clear that bar.

Finally, and perhaps most anthropocentrically, the equation considers how long any one of those semaphoring civilizations would be around to blink their signals our way. A sun like ours survives for about 10 billion years; life on Earth has been around for only about 3.5 billion years, and humans have been radio-capable for barely a century.

If we destroy ourselves in an environmental or nuclear holocaust tomorrow, our signal will go dark then. If we survive for tens of thousands of years, we will be announcing our presence to the cosmos for far longer—and the same is true of all of the other civilizations that live in the Milky Way.

Factor all of this together and stir in a little statistical seasoning concerning our increasing ability to study other star systems for signals, and, as the above interactive shows—the results can vary wildly. If you play the game conservatively—lowballing all of the variables—you might get about 1,000 detectable civilizations out there at any given time. Play it more liberally and you get hundreds of millions. The interactive let’s you play that game yourself. Imagine there are 10,000 detectable civilizations and we are likely to find alien life by 2040. If there are a million, we’d discover alien life by 2028.

Nobody pretends the Drake Equation is the final word. Even its enthusiasts admit that it is, at best, a way to “organize our ignorance.” But organized ignorance is a whole lot better than the disorganized kind; and it is, almost always, a starting point toward wisdom.

Methodology

Astronomers looking for alien signals have examined only a few thousand star systems so far. But as SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak has noted, the rate at which researchers are able to process the massive amounts of data that radio telescopes receive doubles approximately every 18 months to two years, meaning it grows by a factor of ten every six years or so.

The Milky Way has around 100 billion (1011) star systems that could conceivably host intelligent life under our current assumptions. An estimate of 100,000 (105) active civilizations in the galaxy would mean one per million star systems. At the exponential rate of growth in signal processing, researchers will have examined one million candidates by around 2034, bringing the odds of a discovery into the probable. 

Adding or removing a zero from the estimate of the number of civilizations out there merely adds or subtracts six years from the estimate, respectively, since that’s how long it takes to expand our search proportionally. See you in 2040, aliens.

The Mysteries of "BERMUDA" Triangle Revealed! | Antigravity Devices Community

What Do They Don't Want us to Know about This Area?

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. 

Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

The area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, or Devil’s Triangle, covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.

Did you know? After gaining widespread fame as the first person to sail solo around the globe, Joshua Slocum disappeared on a 1909 voyage from Martha’s Vineyard to South America. Though it’s unclear exactly what happened, many sources later attributed his death to the Bermuda Triangle.

William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest,” which some scholars claim was based on a real-life Bermuda shipwreck, may have enhanced the area’s aura of mystery. Nonetheless, reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public’s attention until the 20th century. 

An especially infamous tragedy occurred in March 1918 when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese ore onboard, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. The Cyclops never sent out an SOS distress call despite being equipped to do so, and an extensive search found no wreckage. “Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship,” U.S. President Woodrow Wilson later said. In 1941 two of the Cyclops’ sister ships similarly vanished without a trace along nearly the same route.

Langston Hughes' Path to Becoming the ‘People’s Poet’ 

A pattern allegedly began forming in which vessels traversing the Bermuda Triangle would either disappear or be found abandoned. Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.”

Bermuda Triangle Theories and Counter-Theories

By the time author Vincent Gaddis coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in a 1964 magazine article, additional mysterious accidents had occurred in the area, including three passenger planes that went down despite having just sent “all’s well” messages. Charles Berlitz, whose grandfather founded the Berlitz language schools, stoked the legend even further in 1974 with a sensational bestseller about the legend. 

Since then, scores of fellow paranormal writers have blamed the triangle’s supposed lethalness on everything from aliens, Atlantis and sea monsters to time warps and reverse gravity fields, whereas more scientifically minded theorists have pointed to magnetic anomalies, waterspouts or huge eruptions of methane gas from the ocean floor.

In all probability, however, there is no single theory that solves the mystery. As one skeptic put it, trying to find a common cause for every Bermuda Triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile accident in Arizona. 

Moreover, although storms, reefs and the Gulf Stream can cause navigational challenges there, maritime insurance leader Lloyd’s of London does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an especially hazardous place. Neither does the U.S. Coast Guard, which says: “In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years, there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. No extraordinary factors have ever been identified.”

Will The Ion Thrusters Get To The Point of Repelling Earth's Gravity? | Antigravity Devices Community

What Do you Know About Ion Thrusters? 

An ion thruster, ion drive, or ion engine is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity.

NEXIS ion engine test (2005)

An ion thruster ionizes a neutral gas by extracting some electrons out of atoms, creating a cloud of positive ions.

Ion thrusters are categorized as either electrostatic or electromagnetic.

Electrostatic thruster ions are accelerated by the Coulomb force along the electric field direction. Temporarily stored electrons are reinjected by a neutralizer in the cloud of ions after it has passed through the electrostatic grid, so the gas becomes neutral again and can freely disperse in space without any further electrical interaction with the thruster.

By contrast, electromagnetic thruster ions are accelerated by the Lorentz force to accelerate all species (free electrons as well as positive and negative ions) in the same direction whatever their electric charge, and are specifically referred to as plasma propulsion engines, where the electric field is not in the direction of the acceleration.

Ion thrusters in operation typically consume 1–7 kW of power, have exhaust velocities around 20–50 km/s (Isp 2000–5000 s), and possess thrusts of 25–250 mN and a propulsive efficiency 65–80% though experimental versions have achieved 100 kW (130 hp), 5 N (1.1 lbf).

The Deep Space 1 spacecraft, powered by an ion thruster, changed velocity by 4.3 km/s (2.7 mi/s) while consuming less than 74 kg (163 lb) of xenon. The Dawn spacecraft broke the record, with a velocity change of 11.5 km/s (7.1 mi/s), though it was only half as efficient, requiring 425 kg (937 lb) of xenon.

Applications include control of the orientation and position of orbiting satellites (some satellites have dozens of low-power ion thrusters) and use as a main propulsion engine for low-mass robotic space vehicles (such as Deep Space 1 and Dawn).

Ion thrust engines are practical only in the vacuum of space and cannot take vehicles through the atmosphere because ion engines do not work in the presence of ions outside the engine; Although high enough voltage potential difference between the anode and the cathode allows for the spontaneous ionisation of atmospheric gases into plasma. 

Thus allowing the use of ionic propulsion in the presence of an atmosphere. Additionally, the engine's minuscule thrust cannot overcome any significant air resistance without radical design changes. Although MIT has created designs that are able to fly for short distances and at low speeds using ultra-light materials and low drag aerofoils. 

An ion engine cannot generate sufficient thrust to achieve initial liftoff from any celestial body with significant surface gravity. For these reasons, spacecraft must rely on other methods such as conventional chemical rockets or non-rocket launch technologies to reach their initial orbit.

These Engineers Built The Bladeless Ion-Propelled Plane! | Antigravity Devices Community

 This Silent Aircraft Flies Using Ion Thrusters; No Fuel Or Moving Parts Involved!

Since 1921, scientists have been trying to develop an aircraft that flies using ion thrusters – albeit at first, it was mistaken for anti-gravity technology. The concept hasn’t been successful until now because our technology wasn’t advanced enough.

Recent key advances have made it possible for a team of scientists, led by Steven Barrett from MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), to create an electroaerodynamic-powered plane – an aircraft that uses solid-state propulsion. The plane doesn’t use propellers or jet engines with expendable fuel. Instead, it’s powered by an ion drive.

Barrett says in the video:

The future of flight shouldn’t be things with propellers and turbines. [It] should be more like what you see in Star Trek, with a kind of blue glow and something that silently glides through the air.

Flight Testing And Plane Design

Their prototype aircraft has a 16 feet (5 meters) wingspan and weighs 5.4 pounds (2.45 kilograms).

Several thin electrodes are running across the wings, which also have thin wires at the front and an aerofoil (a curved surface to produce the lift) at the back.

The thin wires are charged to positive 20,000 volts, and the aerofoil is charged to negative 20,000 volts. This creates a strong electric field.

The electric field strips nitrogen molecules in the air of electrons, producing ions in the front. As the ions accelerate to the back, they generate an ionic wind, giving the plane thrust.

The plane doesn’t require a propellant. It only relies on those thin wires and an off-the-shelf lithium-polymer battery.

Barrett told IFLScience:

The basic idea is that if you ionize the air, which means removing an electron from it, you can accelerate the air with an electric field. Like the force you get if you rub a balloon on your head.

The plane flew around 200 feet (60 meters) in approximately 12 seconds over the course of ten test flights in a gym. It had a thrust efficiency of about 2.6%, but that figure increases as the system’s efficiency increases. So, a 670 miles (1,080 kilometers) per hour plane would theoretically be 50% efficient.

Barrett said:

It was exhilarating. Then it crashed into the wall, which wasn’t ideal.

 

[Nevertheless], it is possible to fly planes that are solid-state, and we demonstrated that for the first time.

 

I don’t yet know whether you’ll see large aircraft carrying people any time soon, but obviously, I’d be very excited if that was the case.

The technology is still minimal, and the plane very much a prototype, but the future potential is inspiring.

For now, the team continue to test the plane in the hopes that people could use its thrust system to power small delivery and inspection drones in the near-term. They would be near-silent and propeller-less, making them safer.

Barrett said:

Imagine 10 or 20 years from now—we could have drones everywhere. If those are all noisy, they’ll degrade our quality of life. But this is silent.

So far, the team has gotten the plane to turn in the air (with remote control) instead of simply flying in a straight line – so advances are being made! In the long-term, such an airplane could help the aviation industry become carbon neutral.

Was "Nikolas Tesla" Suffering From a Serious Disorder? | Antigravity Devices Community

Was "Nikolas Tesla" Suffering From a Serious Disorder? 

Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

Born in 1856 and raised in Smiljan, then part of the Austrian Empire, but today part of modern-day Croatia, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and Physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry.

He emigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalised citizen. He went on to become an inventor, electrical engineer and mechanical engineer.  In fact, he was dubbed by many as “the man who invented the 20th Century”. Tesla was a brilliant scientist and engineer who earned more than 700 patents with inventions, he is perhaps most famous for developing the alternating current, but his work also led to advances in wireless communications, lasers, x-rays, radar, lighting, robotics, and much more. In fact when he died in 1943, much of his work remained classified by the US government.

It’s reported that Tesla started showing symptoms of OCD around 1917 when he became obsessed with the number three. When taking his daily swim at the public pool, he always swam 33 laps, but if he lost count he said he couldn’t leave, and instead had to start over from zero.  He often had an urge to circle a city block three times before entering a building. When leaving a building he had to turn right only, and walk around the entire block before becoming “free” and being able to leave.

Tesla worked every day from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. or later, with dinner at a very specific 8:10 p.m. Tesla would then resume his work, often until 3:00 a.m.  For exercise, Tesla walked between 8 and 10 miles (13 and 16 km) per day. He curled his toes one hundred times for each foot every night, saying that it stimulated his brain cells.

He also became obsessed with germs, he polished every dining implement he used to perfection, demanded three folded cloth napkins beside his plate at every meal using 18 napkins. He also stayed in a hotel room with a number divisible by three (he lived the last ten years of his life in suite 3327 on the 33rd floor of the New Yorker Hotel). He considered jewellery revolting and especially hated pearl earrings.

It’s also reported that he would count his jaw movements when chewing food and habitually surprised dinner guests by estimating the weight of his meal before taking the first bite because when eating, he found he couldn’t enjoy food unless he first mentally calculated the volume, which of course are almost certainly OCD symptoms.   Tesla’s fear of germs became so great when meeting people he would decline to shake hands and he had great distaste for touching hair.

His lifelong celibacy and tendency to seclude himself could have been OCD related too, although Tesla himself is claimed to have said this enhanced concentration on his various experiments.

Huge, Hovering and Silent: The Mystery of 'Black Triangle' UFOs | Antigravity Devices Community

 Huge, Hovering and Silent: The Mystery of 'Black Triangle' UFOs

Some speculate they are super-secret US spy craft. Others question whether they might be from elsewhere, conducting some kind of surveillance.

Within the larger mystery of the UFO phenomenon is another, still-unsolved puzzle: Why do so many reports involve strange, triangular-shaped craft—often described as dark in color, virtually noiseless and the size of a football field or larger? What, exactly, are they? And why are so many witnessed hovering or moving slowly and methodically, with no visible contrails?

In the years after the U.S. Air Force coined the term “unidentified flying object” in 1952, reports often referred to UFOs generically as flying saucers. But witnesses then, and since, have described a wide array of shapes: saucers (or two saucers put together), eggs, hats, cigars, boomerangs, lightbulbs—even Tic Tac candies.

Among the most commonly reported shapes were V-shaped, arrowhead-like or triangular. David Marler, UFO researcher and author of Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation, says he has reviewed more than 17,000 case files involving unidentified triangular craft, sometimes called “black triangles.” Whether the sightings represent advanced U.S. spy craft—as some speculate—or something of unknown origin, their purpose remains mysterious. Given their consistent hovering behavior, Marler says, they might be engaged in “surveillance of some nature—or scanning. Or analyzing the topography.”

“There have been many instances in which these vehicles have been observed over bases operated by the Strategic Air Command,” says Chris Mellon, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, whose career has focused on unconventional threats to American security. Mellon is now an integral part of the investigative team featured on HISTORY's “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation.”

An International Phenomenon

In the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, triangular UFO reports hailed from across the U.S. and beyond. During the 1960s, at the height of Cold War UFO fever, mysterious flying triangles were reported over Connecticut, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas—as well as London, Madrid and Czechoslovakia. In 1969, two National Guard pilots tailed a “triangular shaped object, 50 feet in diameter” for 20 minutes over San Juan, Puerto Rico, until they ran low on fuel and had to return to their base. Many of these incidents would be attributed by officials to atmospheric conditions, weather balloons or other everyday sources, but some remained unexplained.

An illustration depicting a triangle UFO.

Between 1983 and 1986, a notable rash of mass sightings occurred in New York’s Hudson Valley, some 50 miles north of New York City. One witness, Kevin Soravilla, a retired lieutenant from the Yorktown Police Department, described a huge, silent craft, 100 yards from wingtip to wingtip, hovering low, which banked and made a 45-degree turn before abruptly speeding off. Soravilla said he called Stewart Air Force Base in nearby Newburgh to determine whether one of its C-5 transport planes—then the world’s largest and heaviest aircraft—had been in the skies that night; none had. Later that year, a hulking triangular UFO hovering over a stretch of New York’s Taconic Parkway prompted a huge traffic pile-up as scores of motorists stopped to get a better look. Similar incidents continued in the region for several years.

‘Exceeded the Limits of Conventional Aviation’

Many witnesses describe what they perceive to be the crafts’ extraordinary abilities. One evening in late November 1989, two police officers on patrol in Eupen, Belgium, not far from the German border, spotted an odd triangular object overhead. In the ensuing days, hundreds of Belgians reported similar UFOs, described in news reports as “a triangular object with a bright red center light” or as a “flying platform” with three huge searchlights.

In March 1990, the Belgian air force sent up two F-16 fighter jets to get a closer look at one triangle that had been spotted on radar. Their onboard computers recorded the object’s remarkable maneuverability and its ability to accelerate from 1,000 kilometers per hour (about 621 miles per hour) to 1,800 kilometers per hour (about 1,120 miles per hour) within seconds. “What the computers registered exceeded the limits of conventional aviation,” a Belgian air force colonel told reporters.

In March 1997, Phoenix, Arizona, became a UFO hotspot when some 30,000 local residents saw something strange in the skies. Some reports said the mysterious object was V-shaped, but many described it as triangular. “It was in a triangle shape and it had three lights. It was moving very slowly,” an 11-year-old Cub Scout was quoted as saying. A retired airline pilot described it as “the size of 25 airliners…and it didn’t make a sound.” Others described it as the size of three football fields.

In 2000, police officers from neighboring municipalities in southern Illinois were called to investigate a trucker’s report of a massive arrowhead-shaped craft hovering low in the sky, two stories high and as long as a football field. Dispatch tapes reveal the shock and awe expressed by the different law-enforcement teams, who were all in radio contact with each other. 

The National UFO Reporting Center, which catalogs more than 8,100 sightings of triangle-shaped UFOs since the early 1960s, lists more than 200 in the first half of 2020.

The Truth Behind the Triangles

Many of these sightings have been investigated repeatedly by UFO sleuths. The Belgian triangles have been explained away as stars, planets, balloons or blimps, with a bit of mass hallucination thrown in. The lights over Phoenix were dismissed as flares dropped during an Air National Guard exercise, although that theory has many skeptics. Some say the New York sightings were a hoax perpetrated by local stunt pilots flying in formation.

One explanation raises the possibility of the “airship effect.” That’s the theory that people who see unrelated lights in the sky can trick themselves into believing they are all part of the same object. Three lights? Must be a triangular spaceship. Three lights hundreds of yards apart? Must be a really big triangular spaceship.

Other speculation has focused on top-secret aircraft. Although the U.S. government has largely stayed mum on the matter, it’s common knowledge that the Air Force has experimented with triangular- and V-shaped aircraft for decades, including the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and the F-117 Nighthawk—and possibly others kept under wraps. Sightings near the clandestine spy plane test facility at Area 51 in Nevada may indeed be connected to test flights of some of these craft.

However, the extraordinary size many witness describe is puzzling. And for Marler and others, the volume of the sightings and the consistency of the crafts’ hovering behavior, combined with their unexplainable sudden accelerations, point away from known military technology.

If not home-grown, then what? One theory suggests that these craft are engaged in mapping sensitive sites. The southern Illinois sightings occurred within one to two miles of Scott Air Force Base, home to U.S. Air Mobility Command, which coordinates all global transportation for American troops. The Hudson Valley sightings happened in close proximity to Stewart Air Force Base. And Mellon has interviewed multiple Persian Gulf veterans who witnessed triangular craft near sensitive military operations. “An adversary planning a future attack would want to know every inch of the battlefield,” he says. 

Still, the black triangle mystery persists. “There’s a lot of data,” says Marler. “That doesn’t equate to answers.”

 Anti-Gravity Technology Hidden in Nature – Viktor Grebennikov

Anti-gravity Research

For many years, humans have been on a quest to understand the secrets of hyperdimensional physics and uncover the secrets of anti-gravity. Numerous scientists consider anti-gravity technology to be the Holy Grail of the 21st century – a single technology that will radically transform human civilization and begin a new age on Earth and beyond. That such technology is possible is supported by the innumerable UFO videos and sightings all around the planet. 

Recently, even the United States Navy disclosed a mysterious footage of a UFO encountered by US navy pilots. According to official data, NASA started its research on anti-gravity technology in 1992. They considered that a device built around a superconductor and a magnet can shield an object from gravity. Declassified documents, however, show that the United States began their anti-gravity research much earlier, as far back as the 1950s.

Many people believe that after the notorious Roswell UFO crash in 1947, the US government began spending billions of dollars on reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology. 

TR-3B Astra – Secret Anti-Gravity Spacecraft

Curiously, the US Secretary of the Navy is listed as the administrator on several radical aviation technologies patented by aerospace engineers. A mysterious man by the name of Salvatore Pais is named as the inventor of four ambiguous patents for which the United States Navy is the assignee: a bizarrely shaped “High Frequency Gravitational Wave Generator;” a “Piezoelectricity-induced High Temperature Superconductor”; an “ Electromagnetic field generator and method to generate an electromagnetic field” that could deflect asteroids, and, perhaps strangest of all, a “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device,” described in the patent as a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft” capable of extraordinary feats of speed and maneuverability in the air, water, and outer space alike, thanks to a revolutionary electromagnetic propulsion system.

While all are relatively outlandish sounding, the latter was personally vouched for by the Chief Technical Officer of the Naval Aviation Enterprise, who claimed the Chinese were already developing similar technologies.

 

Although the US has not admitted to possessing such a craft, countless people have witnessed a strange triangular UFO in the sky, which looks exactly like the mysterious craft from the patent.

Of course, follow the coordinates on map now, and you’ll find that the mysterious object ( Triangular shape Device) has been hidden from Google Maps, which makes it even more suspicious.

Viktor Stepanovic Grebennikov

No doubt, the world of anti-gravity is one of cloak and dagger, of extra-terrestrial implications and dark money funding. However, the man we’ve dedicated this article to was not a backroom power-player or governmental elite, but an ordinary man in an extraordinary position at the forefront of anti-gravity discovery. He did not accomplish this with billions of dollars or secret government facilities, but simply by observing nature and all its wonderful creations. 

Viktor Stepanovich Grebennikov was born in 1927 in Simferopol, a populous city in the Crimean Peninsula region of what was then the Soviet Union. Only a few years before he was born, the city had been an important theater in the Russian Civil War. Grebennikov’s mother was a noblewoman and his father, a simple mechanic, two classes which previously would not have intermingled. For his part, Grebennikov was an intelligent, curious young man, and he became among the first of a new, educated generation.

It was this education that led him as an adult to Novosibirsk, on the southern tip of the Western Siberian Plain. There, Grebennikov took to a wide range of interests, becoming a scientist, specifically an entomologist – which is the study of insects – but also a naturalist, painter, and rugged outdoors man. He may also have been a poet, judging by how he described the natural beauty of the Siberian steppe. As he wrote: 

“A quiet evening in the steppe. The sun’s red disk has already touched the faraway, misty horizon. Pods of ducks gleam over the evening lake, sandpipers are also heard in the distance. The high, pearl-colored sky stretches over the calming world of the steppe. How good it is to be out here, in the open country!”

Cavity Structural Effect (CSE)

It was this love affair with nature, far from the stuffy offices and thick books usually associated with scientists, which sent Grebennikov down the path of discovery that would define his life.

 

It happened almost entirely by chance one evening in the early 1980s. Grebennikov was engaged in his favorite pastime, roaming the vast steppe alone with intent to camp under the stars. As he laid his head on a makeshift pillow, Grebennikov was overcome with an unpleasant feeling – headache, ringing ears, and a metallic taste in his mouth. He realized that he had set up camp on top of an underground bee city, that in fact, in his own words,

“the entire steppe is dappled with their holes like Swiss cheese, and in places, almost like a sponge.”

What could this mean, Grebennikov wondered? He returned to the spot four more times, through varying weather and times of day, and each time found the results the same. He noted that five meters away from the boundary of the bee city, he felt no effects, but as soon as he entered the area, he felt similarly unpleasant. This weighed on Grebennikov’s mind for some time, until years later he happened to be in an area where another bee city had recently ‘died,’ that is, collapsed as a result of erosion and the passage of time.

While investigating the site, Grebennikov collected parts of the nest, the familiar ‘honeycomb,’ and returned to his office. There, he noticed the most unusual phenomenon. When he put his hand over the honeycomb, he could feel a heat emanating from it, a “thermal sensation” which made him light-headed. He got others to try, and they reported similarly, feeling heat or cold wind, having numbness in their fingers or feeling as though their hand was being pushed around. 

Most peculiar, the cause of this could not be measured by any traditional scientific device. Grebennikov noted that:

“thermometers, or ultrasound detectors, magnetometers and electrometers-did not respond to them in the slightest,”.

Further, the effect could not be blocked by covering, even with a thick piece of metal. Strangely, clocks – both mechanical and electronic, started running inaccurately when placed near the zone. By chance, Grebennikov had discovered the Cavity Structural Effect (CSE), which is what he called this type of ‘force field’ which surrounded cavernous honeycomb-like objects. Believing this to be an important and potentially groundbreaking discovery, Grebennikov published an article on his findings. 

Surprisingly, the article went unnoticed or ignored in the mainstream scientific community. Thus, Grebennikov was left to continue the work himself.

While his status as an entomologist was probably at least partially responsible for the indifference of the scientific community, it was this vocation that allowed Grebennikov his next major breakthrough, a discovery that would change everything.

In 1988, Grebennikov was examining the chitin shells of insects under a microscope, when he noticed what he called:

“an unusually rhythmic, extremely ordered, incomparable honeycomb, solid multidimensional composition, which looked as if it was pressed by some complicated automatic machine.”

Chitin Shells of Insects Magnified by Microscope as he moved deeper into study, something extraordinary happened. As Grebennikov described:

“I was about to place a second identical plate with the same unusual cell structure on its underside, almost purposelessly on top of the first one. But then. The little plate came loose from my tweezers, hung suspended above the other plate on the microscope stage for a few seconds, then turned a few degrees clockwise and swung – and only then it abruptly fell on the desk.

When I came to my senses, I tied a few panels together with a wire and it wasn’t an easy thing to do. I succeeded only when I positioned them vertically. What I got was a multi-layered chitin block and I placed it on the desk. Even a relatively large object, such as a thumbtack, would not fall on it. Something pushed it up and aside. When I attached the tack on top of the “block,” I witnessed incredible, impossible things. The tack would disappear from sight for a few moments. That was when I realized that this was no “beacon,” but something entirely different.”

This incredible discovery got Grebennikov thinking. Science suggested that some bugs should be too big to fly, based on the size of their wings and the speed of their wing beat. Was the Cavity Structural Effect caused by this ‘incomparable honeycomb,’ creating some sort of anti-gravity field, allowing the bugs to defy physics and fly? Were the bugs, in fact not flying at all, but levitating?

Viktor Grebennikov’s Anti-Gravity Platform

Following this line of thought, and the works of past scientists like Nikola Tesla, Grebennikov set about trying to create some sort of anti-gravitational vehicle. For years he toiled, pouring heart and soul into the project, until finally, he came up with something possessing apparently amazing characteristics, Viktor Grebennikov's Anti-Gravity Platform 

By attaching hundreds, if not thousands of chitin shells to the bottom of a simple wooden platform, Grebennikov had invented an anti-gravity vehicle which he claimed could travel at up to 1500 kilometers per hour, as many as 300 meters off the ground. He operated the device by stepping on the platform and using two handles attached to the base by a single pole. Despite the incredible speeds, the rider did not experience any effects, no inertia properties, or dynamic pressure, almost as if they were ensconced in a bubble or force field. Further, when in flight, the device was invisible from below, appearing as only a light sphere or cloud in the sky. Observers noticed that even his shadow was missing when in flight, and his watch was constantly shifting forward or backward. We know from Einstein that time, space, and gravity are intertwined.

The Suppresion of Viktor Grebennikov’s Research

Humble in the face of such a potentially world-changing invention, Grebennikov believed that so-called ‘real’ science should investigate his discovery. Thus, he filed for a patent. Shockingly, his patent application was resoundingly denied, while Grebennikov was rejected and called out by skeptics and other scientists.

It certainly didn’t help that he lacked photographic proof, as his camera would malfunction during flights as a result of the Cavernous Structures Effect. But the reception he received for such an apparently groundbreaking invention represented the antagonistic relationship Grebennikov had with establishment thought throughout his career. He was not shy about this, asserting: 

“The joy of creative work, even of work that ends in failure, is far higher and brighter than earning any diplomas, medals, or patents,”

Viktor Grebennikov's Book - My World

But perhaps the reception to Grebennikov’s invention went beyond mere antagonism. In 1992, his patent application having been rejected, Grebennikov sought to publish a book detailing his discovery, the principles, and measurements of his invention backed by a litany of full color images. It was said this would include photographs of a demonstration of the machine Grebennikov gave at a museum. However, just before the book was released, the publishers, possibly at the behest of authorities, undertook dramatic edits of the book, removing hundreds of pictures and all schematic details.

Why, at the same time Grebennikov was being called out by skeptics, was evidence of his invention being subverted?

According to a long time colleague, Grebennikov was part of a so-called scientific underground that was persecuted and victimized by the scientific establishment and governmental authorities. Given the money governments were admittedly and allegedly spending in pursuit of the secrets Grebennikov had apparently discovered, it is perhaps no surprise his discovery would be suppressed.

Anti-Gravity Technology in Ancient Times?

Maybe Grebennikov had inadvertently stumbled across something more powerful, and thus more dangerous than he could have imagined, a deep and almost mystical power sought by humans for centuries, dreamed about with every UFO sighting or unexplained human artifact.

Consider the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, a structure so incredible that generations of deep thinkers have speculated how an ancient society could have created such a thing. It is a mystery so inexplicable that some have suggested the ancients must have had access to some sort of alien technology.

Electromagnetic Energy from the Pyramid of Giza

This might not be fetched as it sounds. Recent research shows that the Pyramid centralizes and conveys electromagnetic energy into the inner chambers and towards the top, as in Grebennikov’s honeycomb. Further, where chitlin shells from bugs powered Grebennikov’s flying machine, the beetle was a vitally important symbol in Egyptian mythology, often depicted in art and icon.

Scarab Beetle Egypt

Alien or not, it appears the Egyptians may have had access to a knowledge since lost to human beings, thirsted by governments, and rediscovered by Grebennikov centuries later. 

What exactly Grebennikov discovered is unknown to this day. It may sound incredible, but the mysterious usually does until it becomes a reality. Before his death in 2001, Grebennikov left us with these words: 

“There is no mysticism, the thing is simply that we, humans, still know little of the Universe which, as we see, not always “accepts” our, all too human rules, assumptions, and orders.”

 The Most "TERRIFYING" Nikola Tesla's Transmitter

The Magnifying Transmitter by Nikola Tesla : "...It is a resonant transformer with a secondary in which the parts charged to a high potential, are of considerable area and arranged in space along ideal enveloping surfaces of very large radii of curvature, and at proper distances from one another thereby insuring a small electrical surface density everywhere so that no leak can occur even if the conductor is bare. It is suitable for any frequency, from a few to many thousands of cycles per second, and can be used in the production of currents of tremedous volume and moderate pressure, or of smaller amperage and immense electro-motive force. The maximum electric tension is merely dependant on the curvature of the surfaces on which the charged elements are situated and the area of the latter."

In the Tesla's Magnifying transmitter, the energy is countinuously bounced back and forth between the earth and the reflecting capacitance at a rate timed to a natural rate of the earth.....

Nikola Tesla has said in a patent about improvements relating to the Transmission of Electrical energy : ".....Stated otherwise, the terrestrial conductor is thrown into resonance with the oscillations impressed upon it just like a wire. More than this, a number of facts ascertained by me clearly show, that the movement of electricity through it follows certain laws with nearly mathematical rigor. For the present it will be sufficient to state, that the earth behaves like a perfectly smooth or polished conductor of inappreciable resistance, with capacity and self-induction uniformly distributed along the axis of symmetry of waves propagation and transmitting slow electrical oscillations without sensible distortion and attenuation. Besides the above, three requirements seem to be essential to the establishment of the resonating condition.

The earth's diameter passing through the pole should be an odd multiple of the quarter wave-length, that is, of the ratio between the velocity of light and four times the frequency of the currents.

It is necessary to employ oscillations, in which the rate of radiation of energy into space in the form of Hertzians or electromagnetic waves is very small. To give an idea I would say, that the frequency should be smaller than twenty thousand per second, through shorter waves might be practicable. The lowest frequency would appear to be six per second, in which case there will be but one node, at or near the ground plate, and, paradoxical as it may seem, the opposite the transmitter. With oscillations still slower the earth, strictly speaking, will not resonate, but simply act as capacity, and the variation of potential will be more or less uniform over its entire surface.

The most essential requirement is, however, that irrespective of frequency, the wave or wave train should continue for a certain interval of time, which I have estimated to be not less than one twelfth-or probably 0.08484-of a second, and which is taken in passing to, and returning from the region diametrically opposite the pole, over the earth's surface, with a mean velocity of about 471,240 kilometers per second......"

" To produce an electrical movement of the required magnitude it is desirable to charge the terminal as highly as possible, for while a great quantity of electricity may also be displaced by a large capacity charged to low pressure, there are disavantages met with in many cases when the former is made too large. The chief of theses are due to the fact that an increase of the capacity entails a lowering of the frequency impulses or discharges and diminution of energy of vibration....."

"....If we could produce electric effects of the required quality, this whole planet and the conditions of existence on it could be transformed. The sun raises the water of the oceans and winds drive it to distant regions where it remains in state of most delicate balance. If it were in our power to upset it when and wherever desired, this mighty life-sustaining stream could be at will controlled. We could irrigate arid deserts, create lakes and rivers and provide motive power in unlimited amount. This would be the most efficient way of harsening the sun to the uses of man......"
