There were actually a few different groups that were interested and doing serious research into Anti-Gravity technology in the 1950s... Louis Witten was hire by Glenn A Martin company, and Richard Feynman even participated in the 1957 Chapel Hill Conference under the pseudonym "Mr. Smith", alongside Herman Bondi and Bryce and Cecil DeWitt...
Colleges that received Gravity Research Foundation monuments include: Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida Colby College in Waterville, Maine Eastern Baptist College in St. Davids, Pennsylvania Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Massachusetts Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia[17] Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire[18] Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts[19] Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama University of Tampa in Tampa, Florida Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois.
truly brilliant, April; I loved it! Amazing that you suffer the demise of two loved ones to drowning and decide that your enemy is .... gravity. But wow! What a lot of threads you pull together (because BABSON pulled them all together)! The Dogtown Stones! Babson College! That essay contest! So much fun--thank you.
So...thinking about how anti-gravity would rescue potential drowning victims: Would it raise up the person, or lift up all the water out of the body of water and expose the person?
