Gravity research ideas and inspiration

In this “gravity research ideas and inspiration” section, Beating Gravity features intriguing articles which happily describe controversial concepts:

• New applications of matrices in physics
• Is anti-gravity possible? How to cancel gravity?
• Gravitational amplification
• Emergent phenomena and gravity

These articles can serve as inspiration to come up with potentially gravity-beating ideas, or even actual gravity research ideas. We present mind-blowing concepts from a high-level perspective while we refer to other sources for more detail. The goal is not to explain things in detail. Instead, we aim to inspire science and set the stage for generating research ideas, or even engineering ideas, in a certain direction. The concepts we discuss range from proven scientific theories to much more speculative ideas.

Approach for generating gravity research ideas

The structure of most of the articles in this section is roughly:

1. An introduction.
2. Several sections with different viewpoints from actual scientific gravity research along with information from other sources. We happily add material from mainstream media, science fiction and other non-scientific sources in the mix here, but we’ll always clarify this. At Beating Gravity, we do this in interest of creativity and in order to hopefully keep it entertaining as well.
3. A list of ideas that are somehow related to the concepts discussed. It’s important to note that these gravity research ideas are highly speculative and often only very loosely based on the concepts discussed. The goal is to come up with inspiration for science, and some potentially gravity-beating ideas, no matter how crazy they may sound.
4. Comments are welcome and encouraged, we hope you feel inspired after reading these articles.
5. References are included for the interested reader. This is often a mix of scientific research articles and websites or books that explain things in easier terms. The references don’t usually support any claims in relation to any of the speculative ideas presented. In fact, it’s important to understand we are not making such claims at all. We are just trying to generate science inspiration and come up with research ideas or engineering ideas.

Let’s take off, Beating Gravity style

It’s important to remember that the articles in this “gravity research ideas and inspiration” section are not scientific articles. Instead, we are looking for inspiration and allow ourselves creative freedom. We describe things high-level and in a casual style, in order to generate potentially gravity-beating ideas. If you want to know more about the Beating Gravity philosophy, make sure to also check our about and FAQ pages.
