Project Greenglow: The Quest For Gravity Control
For centuries, the precise workings of gravity have confounded the greatest scientific minds and the idea of controlling gravity has been seen as little more than a fanciful dream. Yet in the mid-1990s, UK defence manufacturer, BAE Systems began a ground-breaking project code-named Greenglow, which set about turning science fiction into reality - while NASA was simultaneously running its own Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project.
Looking into the past and projecting into the future, Horizon explores recent breakthroughs in the search for loopholes in conventional physics and examines how the groundwork carried out by Project Greenglow has helped change our understanding of the universe. Gravity Control may sound like science fiction, but the research that began with Project Greenglow is very much on-going, and the dream of flying cars and journeys to the stars no longer seems quite so distant.
