[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 18309, member: 174998"] In the wave/particle view, an antigravity device is easy to imagine. All we would need to do is insert a barrier of some kind between two masses such that they could no longer exchange gravitons, or such that their gravitational waves are deflected. A kind of gravitational mirror. However, in the geometric (Einstinian) view this is conceptually more difficult. How can any kind of a barrier do anything about the fact that the masses are warping space/time around themselves? Can a barrier reverse the curvature of space/time? This is exactlty the kind of conceptual conundrum which makes quantum gravity so difficult to imagine. What does it mean to talk in terms of quantizing geometry? 2old [/QUOTE]
