874 (Special Edition) | Listen to the show! | | Aired on January 20th, 2008 | | Guest: Benjamin Thomas Solomon |
| Guest: Benjamin Solomon. Benjamin Solomon was the guest for this program in order to discuss his soon-to-be-released book, "An Introduction To Gravity Modification: A Guide to Using Laithwaite's and Podkletnov's Experiments and the Physics of Forces for Empirical Results." We started out with Mr. Solomon explaining what he means by gravity modification and why it's so challenging for the subject to be discussed in a credible way. Mr. Solomon spoke extensively about his experiments which he says anyone with his book will be able to replicate. He also discusses the work of Laithwaite and Podkletnov and describes what he means by field, mass, and the force. He says he has achieved a 3-5% reduction in weight of an object tested in one of the experiments from reducing the gravitational force on the object, not changing the mass of the object. Several listeners suggested the need for additional experiments showing the results of his theories and work that are found in the book. Such as pushing a switch and watching as the object of his test flies up to the ceiling of the room. While this may not be practical at this time, we discuss ed the need for Ben to do some of the experiments in public and not just on video. Ben expanded this by saying those that buy and read his book should do these experiments in order to confirm what he knows and has written about. I suggested Ben return to an ISDC or a Mars Society Conference and have his readers meet him there and then they can all perform the experiments for those coming to the session. Later in the program, we talked about investing in a business using this cutting -edge work rather than investing in a rocket company. You do not want to miss this very interesting discussion. What do you think, is gravity modification ready for prime time investing or possibly angel investing? Another listener asked about the application of gravity modification for terrestrial airplanes. While many listeners seemed to understand what it meant in terms of getting off the planet, tp Ben elaborated on what it would mean for space travel and colonization. He says he can visualize millions of people in space in just a short amount of time as this technology would change everything we know about space travel. In response to many questions, Ben told us research on this matter is occurring in other countries and unless the United States is able to stay on top of it, especially in the private sector, other countries will end up controlling space. This is a most interesting discussion about a very revolutionary process. Although, the book is full of equations, Ben says the math is not so advanced or outrageous and most of you buying the book will be able to handle it. In fact, he said if one could work an Excel spreadsheet, they could easily do the math in his book. You can learn more about Mr. Solomon's work and theories by visiting his website: www.iseti.us.

| About our guest... |
Benjamin Thomas Solomon Ben Solomon has a Certificate in Relativity, Gravity, and Cosmology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professional Institute (2006), a Bachelors degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, from Aston University, UK (1979), a Master’s degree in Operations Research from Lancaster University, UK (1982), and a Master’s degree in Banking & Finance, University College Dublin, Ireland (1995). Over the past 7 years Ben Solomon has presented numerous papers on gravity modification and related concepts at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conferences, and the Mars Society’s International Mars Conferences. Ben Solomon is the inventor of proprietary electrical circuits that can change their weight, at room temperature, and without moving parts. In his day job he does extensive numerical and statistical modeling of commercial property losses. This expertise combined with his degree in electrical engineering, was the spring board for numerical modeling and statistical analysis of gravitational and quantum mechanical experimental data. The book synopsis I’m using for the book promotion is: ‘An Introduction to Gravity Modification’ shows the reader how the physics and the engineering of gravity modification work, using real dimensions, real fields, real materials, and real forces. This work is based on the author’s research of more than 10 years, with electrical circuits (no moving parts) that can change their weight, and extensive numerical modeling of experimental data. With this knowledgebase and experience the author reviews Laithwaite’s and Podkletnov’s experiments, and the physics of forces. The book presents a new concept of force, the non-inertia field, and a new equation for gravitational acceleration. There is no mass in this new equation. This makes gravity modification a portable technology. The book shows how both relativity and quantum mechanics has to change. The author has discovered a non-local particle probability distribution from published experimental data. This distribution combined with the inferences derived from numerical gravity modeling explains how and why the observer appears to alter the observation. ‘An Introduction to Gravity Modification’ points to the single most important technology after gravity modification, the technology of interstellar travel. This is possible with asymmetric transformations that bypass the velocity of light constraints.
