im suprised noone has mentioned this before. The goal of the project is breakthrough propulsion research and this would be a massive breakthrough if it worked like a shield. Suppose you want to go somewhere in space, build a nice big ship (dont bother with thrusting engines, maybe just some manuvering rockets) and stick an array of these disks behind it.. The array will shield the craft from whatever gravitational mass happens to be behind it. While the other half of the universe continues its relentless gravitational pull the craft should experience a net forward motion.. You dont need to worry about how heavy the craft is, because everything will 'fall' at the same constant acceleration. this could also help us find out where we are in relation to the 'center of the universe' (it would probably be the direction with the strongest pull). I know very little about physics and could have interpreted the whole thing wrong.. but if anyone is game enough to speculate on how much thrust (acceleration due to universe) would be achieveable with this hypothetical setup, i would be interested. note: i doubt the thrust would be sufficient for 'lift off', so assume the craft is assembled in orbit.
