Depending on further confirmation, this effect could form the basis for a new technological domain, which would have numerous applications in space and other high-tech sectors" says ESA study manager Clovis de Matos. Although just 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth¹s gravitational field, the measured field is a surprising one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein¹s General Relativity predicts. Initially, the researchers were reluctant to believe their own results.>> A pdf paper may also be downloaded from the above url. Harry
