On The Verge of Antigravity

Due to years of training in conventional physics and employment in an engineering field, my first reaction to this article is extreme skepticism. But upon closer inspection, they may be onto something.

It is worth remembering that every respected physicist in the world during the 1890s was absolutely adamant that heavier-than-air flight was impossible. A few years later, two bicycle mechanics were flying a home-built airplane in their back yard.

Science changes. It's the nature of the beast. Many scientists and engineers tend to forget that too easily.
