Burkhard Heim

[iPeppers]

I came across this article about Burkhard Heim and his theories. He seems like quite the interesting old chap, why have I not heard anything about him before? Have I been under a rock, suffering from amnesia? Or is his theories looked at as being completely ridiculous, because as far as I can tell from this article someone should be paying more attention to this guy's theories and finding some practical uses for them. Anti-gravity can't be totally useless, can it?

Thoughts from this forum's experts? Or anyone?

I actually read this article when it was first released, and held the mag in my hand yesterday.

 

There's still no evidence for anti-gravity.

 

"Guidelines for a Space Propulsion Device Based on Heim's Quantum Theory "

 

Would appear to be the original paper...

I'll read it tomorrow I've not bothered to find it before but it's 3am now....

 

There's been a few citations but no great ones:

Which means that someone probably either found a huge flaw or work is progressing slowly.

Yes, I suppose it could just be progressing slowly. I mean, the man spent his life coming up with this stuff, and I'm sure his work is hard to sift through. Anything new in physics that is of any importance tends to be kind of complicated these days. But I want to go to the moon in four hours like your first link said would be possible!
