Since the Theory came more close to practical, nd the only problem is the amount of electromagnetic energy to create an anti-gravity room on earth, then how much energy are we talking about?

NASA trains the astronauts by taking them real high in a plane then dive down them, that they feel an apparent effect of weightlessness, to get them used to zero gs.

Since its practical to create an anti-gravity room, by lets say 5 m^3 dimension, How much ENERGY are we talking about that they do'nt even try to build it? or even if they are, am not aware of.

tnx fellas

From what i hear they can put 12 tons or 24,000 lbs onto geostationary orbit for a paltry 90 millions dollars, that sounds like a good deal to me but i need a second opinion.

Since light can not escape a blackhole, and light is the fastest thing in the universe. According to Einstein, time slows as we travel faster....would you actually travel back in time if you went through a black hole...or at least around the event horizon?

Andromeda:

We are on a collison course.

I imagine the Milky Way will come off the better of the two as it is more massy, and we will shread through Andromeda perhaps leaving in our wake something like the Tadpole galaxy:

I am interested in your thoughts.

Also: how common are galaxy collisions?

Strange news story on Yahoo News:

Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070918/sc_afp/peruhealthoffbeat

Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a "strange odor," local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.

Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.

Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.

"Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned," he said.

===========================

This sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. Any theories on what it might be?

Ideally, I am looking for something that will state:

0 sea level = 100 lbs
1 mile above sea level = X lbs
5 miles above sea level = Y lbs
50 miles = Z
etc.

I'm not overly concerned in the increments or type of measurement (miles, kilometers, pounds, kilograms, etc.) What I am specifically looking for is the ratio at which perceived weight at sea level decreases as distance from the Earth increases.
