Gravitomagnetism and quantum theory of gravity?

[H.M. Murdock]

I was reading this:

http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/GSP/SEM0L6OVGJE_0.html

and apparently it seems that Martin Tajmar seem to have made a significant step towards the long sought quantum theory of gravity. and at the same time he proven wrong some aspect about general relativity. althought he hasent got a lot of support from the scientific comunity.

what are your thoughts about it?

This reminded me of the Podkletnov's experiment, but in fact the Wikipedia page of him says

In 2006, Martin Tajmar and several coworkers at the Austrian Research Center (ARC) Seibersdorf announced their claim to have measured the gravitomagnetic London moment of Cooper pairs in a superconducting ring spinning at 6500 rpm.[citation needed] Despite the similarity to the apparatus used by Podkletnov, the authors carefully state in their eprint (see citation below) that their claimed result should not be confused with the claims of Podkletnov.

If this is the experiment I'm thinking of, a replication was attempted which failed. Which makes the whole affair rather doubtful.

If you are not fully sure, then there is a non-zero probability, that you were thinking about the Podkletnov's experiment, which, according to all possible information sources, has failed repeatability.

I have nothing else to say to the OP, than that I'm interested in getting any reliable information about the Tajmar's experiment too.

unfortunately I haven't found a lot of updated info about it, but here there is another article about it:

I'm quite sure that what I was thinking about was not the Podklentov experiment. I also recall that the experiment was in Australia, and that I posted some fairly detailed information about the replication attempt here on PF.

So let us see. assuming that it is the same, then Tajmar should be a good keyword, so...

bingo

Ok..
