Can anybody suggest any books, journals, or webs on antigravity?

Trying to do some research on it but its really hard to find useful information.

Yeah, that's probably because it doesn't exist.

Based on what evidence?
If you simply put negative signs into general relativity equations, mathematically speaking its possible.

If it were that easy, it wouldn't be so hard to find useful information in the peer-reviewed literature. As Phinds says, the reason you aren't finding anything is that there isn't much to find outside of science fiction.

If you could write out the specific "general relativity equation" (there are a lot of them) that you're thinking of, we'll probably be able to help you understand the underlying physics a bit better.

Try Biefield-Brown effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biefeld–Brown_effect

and http://www.doctorkoontz.com/Antigravity/Test_of_Biefeld_Brown_Effect.htm

If you start with these you will soon find all of the other stuff.

This is not peer reviewed research. Looks cracked to me.

No kidding. There is no serous peer reviewed research on anti-gravity. (Because it doesn't exist)

He didn't ask for peer reviewed. I don't think that there is any ... at least none that has held up to any serious review.

For example, here is a patent: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/11/1111_051111_junk_patent.html

This work was once peer reviewed:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/6.03/antigravity_pr.html

Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-gravity

And here is an institute for such research:

My comment is addressed to the poster. Are you being sarcastic ?

Then you could be bending the rules by posting links to this kind of stuff.

Nope.

You need to take another look at the PF General Guidelines, UltrafastPED. Peer review is one of the stated requirements. Fostering the discussion of pseudoscience is a good way to get yourself booted.

Anyways...

Any of you recognize this?
So if you have mass you have space-time curvature, if mass is 0 then you don't have the curvature. What if mass is negative would that create anti-gravity (negative curvature)? Of course the question would moves to "Is there negative matter"?.

 

[UltrafastPED]

For negative mass, start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_mass

You can find many articles on negative mass, though there is no experimental evidence for it that I know of.

For example: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.1566.pdf

 

[bcrowell]

You can probably find some of the non-kook science on this topic by searching for the phrase "energy condition," and related conditions such as "strong energy condition," "weak energy condition," etc.
