Gravity-Like Fields and Space Propulsion Concepts

Figure 1. Experimental evidence for novel gravity-like fields. The figure shows an overlay of two pictures. The four solid curves, taken from the Stanford-NASA Gravity Probe B space flight experiment,1 show the directly measured misalignments of the four gyroscopes (gyro) employed in this experiment, made from niobium coated quartz spheres that are rotating at superconducting temperatures. The two dotted curves show the theoretical misalignment of the gyros calculated by EHT (Extended Heim Theory) caused by the presence of the postulated gravitomagnetic field, which, according to EHT, should result from the rotation of the cryogenic Nb coated quartz spheres (gyros). This gravitomagnetic field, being 18-20 orders of magnitude larger than classical relativistic frame dragging as predicted by GR (General Relativity), is outside GR and would denote a novel physical phenomenon. Moreover, the presence of this effect might cause gyro anomalies and render the data analysis much more challenging.
