Prof Eric Laithwaite - video review

Eric's demonstration is so simple that it's hard to imagine why this phenomenon hasn't been thoroughly investigated, but there are straightforward reasons for this.

2) Established dogma. If the establishment has declared that certain things are true and other things aren't, then anything that doesn't belong in the 'true' list is dismissed by all members of the establishment, mostly out of self-preservation.
3) Hidden agendas. There is a lot of evidence indicating that the U.S. military and the armies of the other superpowers had been investigating exactly the sort of anomalous phenomena that Laithwaite is demonstrating. For more on that, I recommend the books Secrets of Anti-Gravity Propulsion by Prof Paul Laviolette and the thief and the book, the scientist, the madman, the thief and his lightbulb. This work was heavily discussed in Defence Weekly in the 1950's and then suddenly disappeared from all publications. Any and all military classified groups would not want such advanced technology to be investigated in the public domain.
My comment to the video was:
"Thank you. That was a very interesting video. It's a shame that the comments [to this video] will include spurious comparisons to hot gases (which simply displace the existing air). Laithwaite was showing that the gravitational pull of an object was not purely related to its mass. The Equivalence Principle, that gravitation and inertial mass are the same, and which Einstein used for his Relativity theory, is still something that is assumed in physics, rather than proved. There is a lot of evidence that this assumption is wrong and that charge and gravity are related. For more on that, I would recommend Thomas Townsend Brown's work, Nikola Tesla's, John Searl and Prof Paul Laviolette. Unfortunately, it is no surprise that Laithwaite was vilified; Searl was imprisoned and his house was burnt down, Tesla was bankrupted, it's a long list [the book ' the scientist, the madman, the thief and his lightbulb' reports on more victims] There is an enormous amount of military secrecy swirling around 'anomalous' gravitation phenomena."
I therefore definitely recommend the video.
