A proposal has been made by André
Füzfa, a mathematics professor from the University of Namur,
Belgium. He believes a device could be built using current
electromagnetic technology with high-end superconducting
electromagnets to generate its own gravitational field. His proofs
for this device are detailed in his paper, “How Current Loops and
Solenoids Curve Space-time.” The technology does exist to make
Füzfa's anti-gravity device a reality, but the high-end
superconducting electromagnets are similar to those used in CERN's
Large Hadron Collider. In other words, such a device would be
extremely expensive. However, consider the revolutionary implications
of gravity manipulation—no longer would there be a need for the
huge, dangerous rockets used to launch and propel spacecraft into
space. Artificial gravity generators would remove the need for the
giant, centrifugal-based gravity systems used in the fictional
spacecraft in The Martian and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Artificial
gravity technology could even potentially be used to make
faster-than-light travel a reality!
