SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the claim made by the MIT Technology Review regarding the ability of thin sheets of superconducting material to reflect gravity. Participants express skepticism about the validity of this claim, noting that gravity and gravitational waves are distinct phenomena. The conversation also touches on the implications of a unified field theory (UFT) and the potential for manipulating gravity beyond mass-energy distribution. The consensus indicates that the theory has not gained acceptance and remains speculative.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superconductivity and its properties
  • Basic knowledge of gravitational waves and their characteristics
  • Familiarity with unified field theory concepts
  • Awareness of the distinctions between gravity and gravitational waves
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of superconductivity and its applications
  • Explore the nature of gravitational waves and their detection methods
  • Study existing theories on unified field theory and their implications
  • Investigate current debates on the manipulation of gravitational forces
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in gravitational physics, and anyone interested in advanced theoretical concepts related to gravity and superconductivity.

Gravity is not gravity waves. I further do not think gw's are in the microwave region.
 
that help's thank you.
 
IF we ever get a unified field theory, it should give some indication of whether gravity can be manipulated in some way (other then manipulating mass-energy distribution). It is possible that no U.F.T is possible if gravity is actually a fundamentally different thing the the other fields.
