Curiosity Project: Relativity Pictures From the hoverboards of "Back to the Future" to the gravity guns of "Half-Life 2," science fiction is
peppered with antigravity technology. In the real world of peer-reviewed studies, corporate-funded
labs and general relativity, however, "antigravity" is a dirty word.

Gravity, you undoubtedly remember, is the attractive force between objects. It holds you to the
planet and keeps the planet orbiting around the sun. As you might imagine, the idea of reducing,
canceling or protecting against this effect of gravity is highly appealing.

Antigravity technology would revolutionize space exploration and energy production. It would slash
the energy demands of travel and transportation. First, however, we'd just have to drastically alter
our understanding of physics and figure out how to counter this powerful force.

As such, antigravity technology remains both the Holy Grail and a red flag. There's been no
shortage of hoaxes, conspiracy theories and credibility-straining reports regarding its research.

Did Evgeny Podkletnov manage to shield an object from the
effects of gravity with this 1992 design? Two decades have passed
and, so far, only Podkletnov himself has reported success.
(Scientists have, however, enjoyed success with superconductors
though.)
For example, in 1992, Russian physicist Evgeny Podkletnov claimed to have successfully tested a
device that shields an object from gravity. The experiment involved levitating a superconducting
disc above a magnet. No one -- including NASA researchers -- has been able to replicate this
experiment in the nearly two decades since that time. In 2002, noted aviation journalist Nick Cook's
research into supposed Nazi antigravity research failed to win over critics.
You might be starting to see why "antigravity" is a taboo subject. Or why NASA has chosen
