If you are going to be a spewing idiot, at least be an informed
spewing idiot:

6.674215x10^(-11) m^3/kg-s^2
Phys. Rev. Lett. 85(14) 2869 (2000)
Science 288(5468) 944 (2000)

6.67407x10^(-11) m^3/kg-s^2
Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 16102 (2002)

You aren't even close.

Idiot. Physical reality works to spec - not to your spec, of course,
but to intelligent men's specs.

1924! Fucking pathetic. All chemical compositions of matter fall
identically to at least one part in ten trillion difference/average by
demonstration,

1798? They didn't even have... well *** howdy, Alessandro Volta
didn't wang together the first battery until 1799,

Gravity Probe-B, fuckwad. The satellite contains one ping-pong
ball-sized gyroball in drag-free perfect free fall about the Earth.
The other three gyroballs, a total of two anti-parallel 10,000 rpm
spin pairs at 2 K plus their massive stationary housing at ambnet
temp, coast along with it. Where does that leave your argument?
Here, have a look for yourself,

>From your public embarassment of a website,

"This new physical interpretation uses elegant, simple, creative
mathematics"

Wrong. No backgroundless theory can use anything simpler than
tensors. No theory with a coordinate background can be correct,

Idiot.

"The gravitational anomaly discovered by Eugene Podkletnov"

Discredited by NASA, amongst others. Irreproducible. Lies.
Podkletnov's "observations" were caused by atmospheric composition and
temperature gradients re liquid nitrogen offgassing and boyancy, plus
plebeian personal incompetence.

Idiot.
