The Vision:
Within a decade humans will travel, work, and live in space by
modifying gravity. As a result space will become a bigger economic
driver of human activity than Earth based industries can ever be.
The Book Objective:
An Introduction to Gravity Modification was written to enable readers
to design, build and test their own prototypes of future propulsion
engines.
The Book:
An Introduction to Gravity Modification is a daring and courageous
rewrite, starting from a clean slate, of the physics of forces in a
world where gravity modification is taken for granted. This book is
the first step to gravity modification as a technology, using real
dimensions, real fields, real materials, and real forces, today. There
is no 'the magic happens here' in the book.

Book Synopsis:
An Introduction to Gravity Modification will enable academics and
technologists to comprehend the physics and facilitate the engineering
of gravity modification today, using real dimensions, real fields,
real materials, and real forces. Based on Solomon's research with
electrical circuits that change weight, and extensive numerical
modeling of experimental data, Solomon presents the new physics of
forces and reviews Laithwaite's and Podkletnov's experiments. An
Introduction to Gravity Modification is the first book to explain how
relativity and quantum mechanics will change to accommodate gravity
modification as a working technology.
Research Approach:
This book is a serious work of scientific exploration and technology
development conducted over 10 years. It is a consolidation of
1. Substantive practical experimentation with proprietary electrical
circuits that can change their weight at room temperature, and non-
gyroscopic mechanical systems.
2. Extensive numerical analysis of the author's own experimental data
and those of other researchers. Some of these numerical models take up
to 12 hours to complete execution.
3. Mathematical, and theoretical exploration of the physics behind
gravity modification, from the perspective of experimental
observations (clean slate), rather than from the perspective of
accepted theoretical formalism.
Research Findings:
1. Force is a non-inertia field. The macro forces, gravity,
electromagnetic force, and all mechanical forces, obey non-inertia
fields exactly. This is a major step forward towards unification of
forces, as gravity is included.
2. A review of published experimental data shows that a particle's
probability distribution is not Gaussian, but a new distribution (not
one of the 37 known distributions) that under certain conditions is a
Gamma distribution.
3. Gravity modification consists of two parts, field modulation and
field vectoring. The non-inertia field is the way to effect both
modulation and vectoring, using electromagnetic fields.
4. Approaches are suggested for interstellar travel (consistent with
Special Theory of Relativity) and spectrum independent electromagnetic
cloaking as new technologies of the future.
Companion To The Book:
1. To enable readers to iterate through the extensive numerical
modeling presented in the book, Solomon has made some (about 600 Mb)
of his Excel 2007 worksheets available online, through Click2Sell.
2. His January 20, 2008, interview can be heard on The Space Show.
About The Author:
Ben Solomon has degrees in Electrical & Electronics Engineering
(University of Aston in Birmingham, U.K., 1979) and Operations
Research (University of Lancaster, U.K., 1982). He also holds a
Certificate in Relativity, Gravity, and Cosmology from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. He 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.
He started building and testing his proprietary electrical circuits
when in the US in 1999. To eliminate experimental error, he had built
circuits that should work (and they do), and circuits that should not
work (and they don't), under identical conditions. Two things
surprised him about this research in the US. First, as a non-US
citizen he could not have access to public or private US funds to
scale up this technology. Second, ITAR prevents knowledgeable US
citizens discussing this type of technology with him.
He expects this book will desensitize this technology, put it on a
solid theoretical and experimental footing, and open the way for
shareholders to request that their management teams allocate budgets
for such research.
