Hmm. A Real Artificial Gravity Field Generator

A semi-published paper suggesting that, finally, we have a physical justification for saving huge sums of money on science fiction show production - indications of the artificial generation of a gravity field using a superconducting whirling mack daddy doohickey, a piece of candy yarn stolen from a field troll, and a really enormous grant.

Yes, of course today I was researching robot soldiers, whether Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception (Latouche has correctly tagged him a major source of arty philosophy - see Sartre on Giacometti for more) has been empirically confirmed, and the French painter Ingres (and his many fetishisticly perfect nudes) when I stumbled across this. It has been an irritating time in the studio, after working on a single painting every day for hours for over a month, getting almost nowhere but not stumbling enough to destroy it with a knife and a fire, throwing the flaming canvas at the hapless model in a fit of drunken pique.

Anyway this work must be finished, while it's still a free country, or perhaps a police cadet state in a free country letter jacket, and while New York is still above water.

Now, let's see....artificial gravity, turn it upside down and you have an anti-gravity generator.
And a way to make a huge local gravity field, thus slowing down time, making a time machine, and going back 24 minutes to before I started writing this post.

I most regret that my search for the Sartre's Search for the Absolute was unsuccessful.
