Reality seems to always turn out to be much stranger than anything we
can imagine. Who would have thought that the evidence would show our
Universe is not only expanding, but accelerating.   It is just a
matter of time before more energy goes into accelerating the Universe
than actually exists in the Universe.  It hurts the brain.

If the Universe is expanding, then gravity may not be a static
property but a force that is generated by natural processes. And if it
is a force than can be generated then maybe as you increase gravity
between two objects they increase their acceleration away from each
other as in a sling shot effect over a straight line. It would be like
a sling shot effect where you tighten the string increasing the
acceleration.  Or if they are moving towards each other they
deaccelerate as gravity increases to point where they actually repel
each other. Otherwise if gravity did not act as a repellent then the
Universe would be a giant single clump of matter or at least slowing
down the expansion.

So my theory is if you can generate gravity then you can create an
anti-gravity device by increasing a gravity generator's power while an
object is in motion. And once you can create multiple gravity fields
pulsing with each other while physically attached then maybe you can
create a method of propulsion.  With such a craft you could make 100g
turns with the occupants inside feeling only 1g by using additional
compensators.

And once you can generate a gravity field you could cut your car's
weight to a fraction and get 500 miles to the gallon. So what is in
your country's national interests: Fighter planes capable of making
100g turns or gasoline being worthless?

Of course, the real trick is being able to generate gravity.  Any
ideas?

It's probably just wishful thinking so please don't attack my post.
I just like thinking about the possibility.
