Watching the first two minutes is like watching an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000
I love it.
I could feel my brain cells dissolving during that preview video
You'd learn more from an episode of Look Around You than this Kickstarter.

I watched the vid earlier but my brain just shut off because I couldn't understand the logic behind this madness

You should check out their other videos then. It's basically that but towards bad kickstarters and bad video games.
I love the fact that he need "smart people good at math and gibberish"
I feel like this guy watched a lot of episodes of Stargate and thought "this is how the universe works". I mean, it's an interesting concept to think about, but he's terrible at explaining it. What if gravity really was some kind of stationary force, like a huge ocean, and objects flow through it? It's not so much that gravity isn't known, it's that nobody really knows what actually makes it work. We know objects of larger mass have larger influences on gravity, but we don't know how gravity comes to form or if there are other forms of influence beyond mass.
Kind of like dark matter. I know it's been speculated that dark matter may play a huge role in the influence of gravity, and in that particular concept, dark matter is the "ocean" and everything just flows through it, and different masses respond to it in different ways.
I feel like that is what he's trying to say...which if it is, that is research that's already being performed. At least in logical experiments with mathematics, since we can't actually see dark matter or sample it, but logic can prove that something like it must exist.
hahaha whole lee shit
Even if he was right there's no reason anyone would want to associate with him. He has no skills and no funds of his own so a scientist who was actually interested in this "theory" could just take the idea and go with it independently.

Retsupurae pretty much started out as a ms3k of let's plays, love how they've started doing these too.
For two minutes they're making fun of actual facts of how gravity works...
I messaged the guy on kickstarter saying I was a physics student ( I am ) at some university in glasgow ( I'm not ) and basically said I'm looking for a project to do some report on and this sounds interesting. He messaged me back with a couple of experiments to help "prove" his hypothesis. He replied with this:
[quote]Hi (sorry you didn't leave your name) Also I tried your email above but it bounced back.
Thank you for your email and yes I would love to have someone like yourself to explore the theory of Liquid Gravity. I terms of gravity equations I would like to think that my theory can be tested against existing equations and still agree with their results, however it is the logic behind the equations that differ. Example is Einstein's Space Time Curvature model is exactly the same as my Liquid Gravity model of how gravity is shaped, however my explanation is totally different. I would love the opportunity to explain it in detail and allow you to pull apart and test.
I have four really good experiments that I would love to see carried out that would provide good evidence for Liquid Gravity
1/ Conduct the drop ball test in a 1G centrifuge, following the standard test of dropping two balls of different mass and seeing them them fall at the same rate, but apply the same test by allowing the same two balls roll inside a centrifuge to see if the behaviour is different. My experiment was done in a very unscientific way using a bolt and piece of wood of similar size. I spun them around to create centrifuge force which flung out two items from the pipes. The result was the heavier bolt moved out faster than the piece of wood. My conclusion for this that two similar forces acting on the same subjects acted differently which I felt supported Liquid gravity theory and discounted the inertia argument. You may have other ideas about this or maybe I didn't conduct the experiment well enough to draw proper conclusions?
2/ Gravity Maps of the earth show a distinct correlation with active geological areas rather than what could be expected; that gravity relates to density of the crust because more mass = more gravity according to Newton. Liquid Gravity theory suggests that all matter makes gravity but matter increases gravity production when energy is added. So it would be good to test this theory by somehow measuring the gravity around a cold ton of metal then measuring the gravity around the same ton of metal in a molten state and compare the results. This could be achieved by placing a accurate scale in close proximity and simply weighing a kilo and comparing the weights or there may be some better way of preforming this test, or it may have already been done?. The outcome of this test would be that it would show a definite relationship to how gravity is made or discount my theory.
3/I have a page on my website about Luminiferous Aether ([url]http://liquidgravity.nz/Luminiferous_Ether.html[/url]) It shows a video of the Michelson–Morley experiment being re-done on a vertical plane which shows what could be considered a huge scientific break though, however the scientific community are sceptical and quite understandably concerned as it would undermine a huge amount of existing science. This experiment does provide support for the Liquid Gravity theory because it shows a vertical flow of Aether descending at speed onto the earth, which I would claim to be Liquid Gravity. It would be great to validate the experiment by redoing it and removing all the possible reasons for scepticism.
4/ I have kept the best experiment for last: levitation machine. If I'm correct about Liquid gravity and its properties then I believe there is a way to control gravity and produce levitation, it may sound crazy but it should be reasonably simple.
So if you can do those experiments then you can claim your name on the biggest scientific upset of the century as well as maybe get onto a death threat list. It seems that most people are upset about proposing a theory and apart from being slammed as the biggest idiot around, there seems to be a scenes or real anger, so be prepared for a lot of criticism.
So hopefully I haven't put you off and I hope that you will enjoy the ride
I look forward to chatting further with you
Kind regards Mike Hodges[/quote]
First off, 1) makes no sense at all. Why conduct an experiment in a 1G centrifuge when you can conduct one at 1G.. anywhere, really.
2) Testing the increased gravitational field of a melted substance by... measuring 1KG near it? What?
3) Luminferous Aether... trying to use the michelson interferometer ( which was used to disprove it ) on a vertical axis instead of a horizontal one. Some random man on youtube used one which did give a different result, but due to how sensitive they are I would wager to bet that it's due to a shit construction that it created that.
4) Isn't even an experiment
I'm tempted to write some theory to send to him, but the guy is definitely delusional and believes what he is talking about
god the op's video has a lot of annoying commentary. I cant even hear what they are even laughing at cause they continue to laugh over the man. Their voices are just unbearable
Forced reactions are the worst ugh

Diabeetus's voice is like candy to my ears.
I've been watching a whole lot of Flat Earth videos lately, so I'm well prepared to try and figure out what crazy logic these people use to come to these conclusions.
Reading the Kickstarter, it seems that he's trying to say that the spinning electrons of atoms act like blades of a fan, propelling the "universal super-fluid". However they are only one way fans, that suck up the fluid like a vacuum, and rather than creating thrust in the opposite direction, they instead create magnetism... for... some reason. According to him magnetism is the opposite force of gravity.
So since all the atoms of your body are vacuuming the universal super-fluid it creates a low pressure zone around you, which is attracted to the low pressure zones of other objects.
