Gravity is a fundamental physical force which acts between masses over both short and long distances. Antigravity is the colloquial term for the hypothetical positive or negative modification of this force. A variety of supposed antigravity devices have been developed and studied over the last century, from Brown's Gravitator in the 1920's to the modern EM Drive in the early 2000's. Antigravity is a concept which continues to be developed with some devices seeming to hold more promise than others. In this talk we will walk through the timeline of antigravity research and touch on modern efforts in this field. This talk is present by Amy Eskridge, President of the Alabama-based Public Benefit Corporation, the Institute for Exotic Science, an international research institute specializing in propulsion, quantum gravity, material science and other related fields of cutting edge technology.
