Are there any leads? will we see it in our lifetime?

Gravity is persistent... there is no avoiding it...
it is the pull of electrons on each other... positive forces attract negative forces...
now there are ways to defy force of weight and create a stronger force, such as an electromagnet, or more powerful force, but currently, there is not way to defy gravity, it is inevitable...

Nope. Can't be done for pretty straight forward theoretical reasons. Unless you have a magical substance called "negative mass" which would violate a bunch of laws of nature just by existing. But if you have magical substances, anything can be done. See "Harry Potter" for details.
"Can't be done" means that it also can't be tested. And it hasn't been. Or we could build perpetual motion machines and flying carpets/brooms. See "Harry Potter" for details.
Are there any leads? Yes. They all lead to the conclusion that it can't be done. For an opposing opinion see "Harry Potter".
Will you "see" it on your lifetime? Depends on what recreational drugs you are using. Not while you are sober (unless the irreversible psychosis has set in already).
Hope this helps.

now for the answer... yes there is such a thing, it is testable, it is repeatable, its just not understood. the basic idea is buildable in your garage. use balsa wood to amke a 39 inch equalateal triangle, coat it in a very thin sheet of aluminum foil, then build little "cells" inside the main triangle approximatly 3 inches apart. use the lowest impedence but lightest wire you can to hook it up to your car battery and this will float off the ground a few feet... but science as of yet cant tell you why

Yes, you simply get into this missile thingy, count down from 10, wait a few hours and vuela, antigravity.

Contrary to what the above post says, gravity has nothing to do with positive and negative charge.
Gravity is caused by mass. In fact, it is essentially synonymous with mass. Any particle that has mass creates a gravitational field that attracts other particles that have mass.
Particles that have mass include:
Proton
Neutron
Electron
Particles that have no mass include:
Photon
There is no known way to stop the gravitational force, or to shield a object with mass from its effect.

Based on the speculations by people who answered before me, I guess I could say it is very much IMPOSSIBLE!
Good luck and God bless!

no leads, no possibilities. It is all sci fi.
