So where is the physical experiment backing this statement up?
Galileo did it. What you're asking me to do is prove basic kinematics.
If you drop one magnet from a roof, it will accelerate at a rate of 9.8m/s^2.
If you drop two repelling magnets from a roof, they will push on each other, but will otherwise fall at 9.8m/s^2.
If one of these drop "tests" was done
scientifically, using precise release, that concept would be proven to your satisfaction.
Of course we all know there is no concrete evidence that links gravity to magnetism, but it is still my opinion that it is, it is just science or physics is unable to explain it. If physics really understood gravity then we would be able to produce a device which could create gravity, but no one in the public realm has yet to do so.
There is a huge body of evidence by many great scientists that shows no connection. If you choose to ignore that, that's your prerogative.
We
DO understand gravity. It's the curvature of spacetime caused by objects having mass. Objects with more mass curve spacetime more. This has been backed up, again, with decades of experiments.
What we do not understand is how to duplicate the effect of gravity without mass, or reduce the gravitational effect that a massive object has on another object.
No.
Podkletnov did
NOT show that gravity was reduced.
He showed that the
DOWNWARD FORCE exerted on an object held over superconductor rotating over a magnet was reduced.
His findings were that the object showed a 0.5% - 2% decrease in its weight. My hypothesis is that whatever objects he held over that apparatus were diamagnetically opposed by the magnet and/or the rotating superconductor.
The weak force of diamagnetism easily and logically explains that.
Occam's Razor, my friend.
Any thoughts on T Townsend Brown's work concerning his electrogravitic experiments?
Well, I pulled up the wikipedia page on it...
Electrogravitics is a pseudoscience that attempts to find a connection between gravity and electricity.
Many experiments by people such as Nikola Tesla, R. L. Talley,[4] Eugene Podkletnov, and Giovanni Modanese have failed to find a connection between gravity and electricity.
That field has as much merit as medieval alchemy, and I don't feel compelled to waste my time on it.
