ARTHUR C. CLARKE
ON ANTI-GRAVITY
Profile by David H. Childress
"Of all natural forces, gravity is the most mysterious and the
most implacable. It controls our lives from birth to death, killing or
maiming us if we make the slightest slip. No wonder that,
conscious of their earthbound slavery, men have always looked
wistfully at birds and clouds, and have pictured the sky as the abode
of the gods. Tbe very expression 'heavenly being' implies a
freedom fmm gravity which, at the present, we have known only in
our dreams."
So wrote Arthur C. Clarke in the 1963 book, "Profiles of the
Future." One of the most famous science fiction authors of all time,
Clarke is also the author of a number of books on science, including
such classics as "lntemlanetarv Fliuht." *The Exoloration of S~ace."
"Voices from the Sk;" and "Profzes'of the ~ukre."~ robaihyi s
best known work is '2001: A Space Odyssey."
Clarke, who was leR totally paralyzed in 1962 as the result of
a spinal injury, has recovered most of his movement, and now lives
in Sri Lanka. Clarke has always been interested in space, and in fact
said in a recent interview, "Space brought me to Sri Lanka. I was
interested in diving here simply because it is the only way of
reproducing the condition of weightlessness, which is characteristic
of space flight."
Clarke became something of a visionary when he predicted a
manned lunar landing by 1970 in tbe early sixties, a prediction
whicb came true. Clarke predicted "Gravity Control" by the year
2050, contact with extraterrestrials by 2030, the colonization of the
planets by 2000 and the discovery of gravity waves and
interplanetary landings by 1980.
Yet Clarke is skeptical of UFOs and ESP. He finds most
demonstrators of clairvoyance ESP and the like to be charlatans who
should be exposed. Clarke sees no evidence for UFOs and once
stated, 'We should only be concerned with close encounters. Either
they exist or they don't. If anyone reported a Tyrannosaurus Rex
loose in Central Park I'd verify it quite quickly; the same goes for
flying saucers." Clarke would seem to find all governments
benevolent, and cover-ups as much a hoax as ESP and UFOs.
Clarke does, however, believe that anti-gravity is a
...
possibility. "When the bistory of the human race is written
pehaps our space faring descendants will be as little concerned with
gravity as were our remote ancestors, when they floated effortlessly
in the buoyant sea."
M EM I- GR4VITY HANDBOOK
The problem of gravitation concerns Clarke quite a bit. It is
the one force that we cannot duplicate, nor even sufficiently
undemtand. He states that as yet, we cannot generate gravity at all,
though he is apparently unaware of the Searle Disk and the
"BiefieldTIrown Effect," two eltperimenb that p e ehi s article on
gravity control.
The extreme weakness of gravity makes it even more
exasperating that we cannot control it, says Clarke. In a statement
that might seem gross arrogance, Clarke states 'No competent
scientist, at this state ofour ignorance, would delibemtely set out to
look for a way of overcoming gravity." Is Clarke totally -ware of
the work of Nikola Tesla, T. Townsend Brown, John Searle, The
Philadelphia Experiment, and even Albert Einstein? Is todays
science too inept to tackle one of the basic foundations of physics?
Clarke does at least agree with those physicists and
mathematicians that are at least trying to research the suhject and
gain a basic knowledge of what gravity is, something we know
precious little about, at least officially. Clarke seems to agree with
the statement of Dr. John Pierce at the Bell Tel- ephone
Laboratories. "AntiCravitv is for the birds." Yet Clarke believeswe
will conqucr~gravityb,u t & we do not have the knowledge yet.
Yet. ~ossiblvC. larke is iust beinn conservative so as not to
arouse the'hth ofihe extremely comezktive scientisb who make
up the bulk of academia. Also, Clarke was speaking more than
twenty years ago when he and many scientists had much to
discover.
Clarke, at one point in "Profiles of the Future" says that 'it
seems most unlikely that there exist gravitational fields, anywhere in
the universe, more than a few hundred thousand times more
powerful than earth's." A few years later neutron stars and black
holes were discovered, which totally blew that hypothesis out of the
water.
Clarke relates an interesting survey done in 1960 by the
Hanard Busiiess Review called a'Survey on the Space Plogram,"
which received almost two thousand replies to it's detailed five-page
questionnaire to busiimen and company executives.
When asked to relate the degrec of probability of various by-
products of space research, the executives' votes for anti-gravity
came out: almast certain, 11 percent; very likely, 21 percent; never
will happen, 6 percent. In fact, they related anti-gravity as rather
more likely than mining or colonizing the plane&!
Clarke goes on to say in "Profiles of Science" that those
tinkerers with anti-gravity are dreaming. Yet, for someone who
doesn't understand gravity himself (no one understands gravity
according to Clarke), it seems absurd that he should ridicule
someone who may have a different conception of gravity than
himself.
Yet Clarke is not so stuffy as he seems. After conditioning
the reader to gravity control being a long way off, he tells of the
THE ANTI-GRAW HANDBOOK 5
fantastic inventions and uses foranti-gravity once we have invented
it, which we will one day, he assures us. "Despite the above-
mentioned skepticism of the physicists them seems no fundamental
impossibility abcut such a device."
Clarke gets lively on his discussions of gravity screens and
negative-matter. He conjures a vision of a space praspector in his
space jeep gathering negative-maner from an asteroid (which of
course, would emit a negative-gravity field) and having a hell of a
time trying to get back to earih due to the &s gravity repelling his
cargo. He concludes that negative-gravity substances, should they
exist, would have a limited we.
He also sees the possibility of degravitizing ordinary
substances, and finally concludes that any form of gravity would
also be a propulsion system. "We should expect this, as gravity and
acceleration are so intimately linked."
"If anti-mvitv devices turn out to he bulkv and exoensive.
their use will be-limitkd to lid installations and t6 large v&hicles-1
perhaps the size of which we have not yet seen on this planet," says
C~~l ark~ e.
"One can imagine the bulk movement of freight or raw
materials along 'gravity pipelines', directed and focused fields in
which objects wouldbe supported and would move like iron toward
a magnet. Our descendants may be quite accustomed to seeing their
goods and chattels sailing from place to place without visible means
of support."
Clarke even sees the development of the portable gravity-
control unit, so compad thata man could strap it on hissh&ldemor
around his waist. He sees it as even beina a permanent pan of his
clothing, taken as much for granted aswhstwatch o; personal
transceiver. It cwld be used to reduce his apparent weight down to
zero, or to provide propulsion.
Thus, the one-man gravitator would he perhaps the most
revolutionaw invention of all time, he thinks. One would not need
an elevator 6 a city if there were a convenient window. Clarke sees
these "levitatom" as doinn for mountains w ha malums have done
for the sea. Tourists wilibe floating over the Hiilaj&, and even
the summit of Mount Everest may be a poplar tourist spot.
Arthur C. Clarke may he a true visionary, and his only
problem may be that he is somewhat myopic. His dreams of
conquering gravity may be much clmr than he realizes: in fact they
may have already come hue!
