Gravity with an ON/OFF Switch | André Fuzfa | TEDxUHasselt |
|
Listen to the story told by André Fuzfa, the physicist with the radical
plan to manipulate gravity which could one day result in astronauts walking, like captain Kirk or Han Solo, rather than floating around in their spaceships.* With a PhD in Theoretical Physics in the field of Cosmology in his pocket, André Fuzfa is a professor at the University of Namur, and is well on his way to turn science fiction into reality. Working within the field of the physical nature of dark energy and extensions of Einstein’s general relativity, Prof. Fuzfa has made a bold but grounded claim that mankind has the ability to create and control artificial gravitational fields with technology currently available. By doing this, he has thrown out a snowball, which might very soon turn into an avalanche of futuristic applications. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx |
