GRAVITY CONTROL with Present Technology Paperback – June 14, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
The inventor was Dr. Frederick Alzofon (1919-2012), a physicist with a world-class reputation in optics and heat conduction who studied particle physics with J. Robert Oppenheimer and David Bohm, relativity and the scientific method with Victor Lenzen, and applied mathematics with Griffith C. Evans at Cal Berkeley in the 1940s and 1950s.
Alzofon's theory has the virtue of being visualizable and simple enough to communicate with some old-fashioned hand-waving and sketches on a paper napkin. You will find the "paper napkin" lecture here, as well as the advanced physics you would expect. You will also find experimental proof.
The first half of the book considers the implications of the technology for humanity: the conquest of space, a total revamp of terrestrial transportation, and a second Industrial Revolution. It will also reduce the causes of global warming, while drawing the fossil-fuel industry as early adopters. Entrepreneurs and engineers should find this part of the book most appealing.
The second half of the book dives into the nuts and bolts of the theory and technology. Nothing is withheld. Flash: Nothing is secret either -- the technology has been around in full public view since 1981. Why mainstream science ignored it is one of the themes of the book.
In contrast to other books on the topic of "antigravity," this one delivers the goods in terms of known physical science.
If you're not a scientist or an engineer, you will not feel left out. The theme of the book is accessible to all, and it's a popular one: hope for humanity. But here, the hope is based on a world-transforming technology. The time is ripe for a paradigm shift, and this book points the way.
This volume is an update of an earlier book by the same author, How to Build a Flying Saucer (And Save the Planet), occasioned by the publication of The Top-Ten UFO Riddles. The current volume focuses on the science of gravity control, with new chapters on the scientific method and a program to research and develop the technology.

Not only was there some useful theory, formulas, and data from actual experiments, but the chapters devoted to social dynamics and a 'business model of transition' was quite clever as well.
Neat stuff
However, I can tell work went into it, and yes, the topic in on gravity control. There are a lot of words, but they say nothing. 90% of the book (and this is a big book) is dialogue about the theory of gravity control, and how this mystical device theyre talking about the whole time "just works".
The engineering bits I wanted to read on were common sense and only about two pages long, but full of "I don't know" and "maybe". I could write a more in-depth pamplet in engineering this stuff with 2 pages, because I have before, as a joke with a friend.
But, for someone who loves learning as much as I do, this book is an insult. I'll give it to my local library, because its only other potential is starting fire, and I couldn't bring myself to make someone else pay for this authors' lack of clarity.
Interesting ideas. Would really like to see how they work out in the lab.

The first part of the book tells you what David dreams would happen if it all works as his dad's theory speculates. Maybe not so useful. The second part is however Fred's explanations, calculations, and the experimental results. Also a bit of Fred's history, and you find he's somewhat of a genius but maybe not that sociable. His other achievements are touched on, and again you'll need to go hunting for more details on the net to get an appreciation that this was a person who managed to do things that were thought impossible.
As I see it, Fred's theory meshes in with standard quantum theory very well, and also seems to match the cosmological observations of anomalies in orbital speeds of widely-spaced stars in galaxies. When you add in Mike McCulloch's QI theory, where information horizons play a large part in both gravity and inertia, the combined picture seems to be a possible description of how things really work. Can we produce such an information horizon at will? That's really the central question, and Fred may have thought of a way to do that.
The experimental verification really needs to be re-done in order to confirm or deny the theory. If the theory is confirmed, then we'd have both a space drive and a way to travel on Earth cheaply just as David speculates. However, there's also an implication of being able to travel faster than light (hey, Star Trek for real!) and also to generate energy from *nothing*. Of course, Fred could have been wrong. Many other people have tried and failed to bring QM and SR into the same unified field theory. Still, there's that tantalising hint that the measured weight of the sample did increase before decreasing, so possibly a better experiment might see inertia reducing and thus show that the theory is a good-enough description of reality to be useful.
As regards experimental cost, David over-estimates that by around 100 times since he based the costs on what was needed in 1991 and what things cost then as supplied to universities. These days with digital frequency generators available for low cost you can do the experiment much more cheaply. There are even desktop ESR analysers off-the-shelf for use in industry, whereas at the time that was cutting-edge research.
In my opinion, the majority of the UFO stories are hoaxes (why I challenged David in the first place). There remain some where something was definitely seen, but possibly built by some human government and black ops. There may be a few where neither explanation is the right one, and could be real alien visitations. Those few unexplainable ones interested Fred and that was likely the reason his Unified Field Theory wasn't looked at. If you base your new theory in physics on Little Green Men and their strange flying saucers then people are likely to dismiss it, much the same as I did. However, I think the theory stands on its own. Yes, it could give us cheap space-travel if it works, and a lot of other benefits too. That doesn't necessarily mean that the alien stories are also true, since it could be just a strange coincidence that the theory leads to a similar result. Things like the Space Elevator started as a science-fiction story, but may end up as science fact, even down to using spun Diamond (Carbon Fibre) as the tether.
If you read this book and find the explanations make sense, then go on to the theory, and then try the experiment, then this could be a very important book. A few people are going that far, and we'll see if it really works.


Other bonuses are that unlike SUSY (Super Symmetry) or String Theory, both of which are in my mind simply reifications (in the same way that DEATH with his scythe is a reification of an abstract concept) of abstract mathematical theory that cannot possibly be scientific because they are impossible to test, the Alzofon UFT is testable and the means (or one, anyway) are actually described in these pages in such detail that a small team of reasonably well funded engineers - at present day costs no more than $1,000,000 from scratch and substantially less for a well equipped pre existing laboratory - could verify the concept. Not only that, there are no sci-fi type concepts here either - absolutely everything in the theoretical foundation is well understood and was possible to put into practise back in the 1980's.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough as even a layman like myself is capable of understanding the gist of the UFT and it's engineering applications - which are almost endless. We could be free of fossil fuels and exploring the cosmos within a decade, given an intensive research effort and when I think about how much money has been squandered on absurdities like the LHC then I wonder where the brains of the people who fund research are.
The 1994 experiment detailed in these pages should be attempted immediately - and it will take very little money.
