Christmas tree fires happend because the cold dry air outside comes in your homes and makes your inside cold dry air too so its the realative humidity around the tree in your homes so go buy a humdifier and put it by the tree ! The dry cold air has static charges in the air that will not bind to water because there are none right ?

The only way with just the housing christmas lights to start arcing of current if the air around the christmas tree is dry air because it has to do with the realitive humidity of outside mixing with the air inside your house so go buy a humidifier to keep wet air so you do not get a fire that destroys and kills you in the process !!

Hi there I wonder if there is any way to get the part of the show with the jellyfish. I tried to google and youtube it but it can’t be found. I want to show it to my girlfriend so that she might belive me that vodka can cure it. So my question is can it be found anywhere? (Sorry for the bad english :D)

on Episode 68: Anti-Gravity Device you guys said to defeat gravity you have to make the object wight less how do u make the object wight less.

Bogdad, the gravaton theriory is part of M-theory. A good NOVA documentary that talks about it is at this site: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html

You Guys Have a Funny Way of Defining Somthing Anti = Meaning Against
Gravity = A Pulling or Atractive Force Created By A Objects Centrifical Motion
And In Responce To T In your Coments Section Urin Most Certantly Dose Work To Kill The Sting Of A Jelly Fish But Dose Nothing To Remove The Toxins

errm… one more thing… gravity affecting light… and the gravitationa lens… is it the gravity effecting the ‘mas’ of the photons (do they have mass?) or is it rater the effects of photons moving in ‘straight lines’ in space-time local to the mass that is bent (by the presence of the mass & it’s gravity) -with respect to the space-time around it?

Many have written about “anti-gravity” and most refer to use of magnets. This is fascinating stuff and not without applications (maglev trains for example). But it remains electro-magnetic suspension… not Anti-gravity per se. Scientists are still trying to uncover the scource of gravity at the sub-atomic level ( I believe work at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN has this as one of it’s aims) basically noone seems to understand the origin of gravity, it’s carrier, or how it is propagated well enough yet to make either a gravity or anti-gravity generator. That’s not to say it’s impossible, usually effects are discovered before their cause… so who knows…

Gravity is a propriety of matter. It cannot be nullified. Wanting to nullify gravity is the same as wanting to isolate electrical charge from an electron. When there is mass, there is gravity. Even the tiny photon has mass (and we know that by seeing gravitational lens in action, when some star occludes other and the image of the distant one “jumps” swiftly from one side to the other).

There are theories that gravity is accompanied by a hypothetical elemental particle called graviton, and blocking that particle (similar as we are blocking the photons using opaque objects or radio waves using Faraday cages) will isolate any object inside the blocking device from any gravity field from the objects around it. Unfortunately, the graviton particle is just a theory and not a very well regarded one, too.

Anything else used to counteract the action of the gravity should not be called an antigravity device, since it is only some type of propulsion, no matter how fancy it is.

I think you guys might need to test the one about the Ionic wind again. Ive read and seen some videos where some people clame that some of thoes ion wind devices dont actualy create any thrust. I saw one where they placed a plastic bag over the device. IDK if that would stop ions from passing through or not but it does raise some questions.
