Book Reviews of The Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World of Antigravity TechnologyBook Review: Interesting Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very interesting book because the author is an editor for Jane's Defense Weekly which is a main stream defense industry publication.
He has a lot of contacts in the defense industry which gives him access to people and places which are not available to most people.
He postulates that perhaps entire industries exist in the world which are trying to solve technical problems that were in reality solved decades ago. These "white" industries serve as the utlimate smoke screen to hide the secrets that only the elite know.
As he delves deeper and deeper in his quest to discover the truth about the "black" projects he begins to feel that the bad guys are beginning to watch him. That's when the nightmares start.
It appears that around the time of World War 2 a race began to discover secrets which, although they seem new to us, were known in very ancient times on Atlantis and in Egypt.
Nuclear energy was one of these rediscovered "technologies" but there are others which (if this can even be imagined) are infinitely more powerful and potentially more dangerous than nuclear.
According to the Edgar Cayce material it was the abuse of some sort of crystal based technology that led to the various destructions of Atlantis which now rests in its watery grave.
One of the main ideas is that there is an infinite source of clean, free, energy available to the world in what Plato and the ancients called the "aether".
As people continue to delve into the sub atomic world they are perhaps seeing God's infinite creative powers. A force which can become anything and which can do anything.
It is only recently that people have begun to fathom to true nature of the mysterious Great Pyramid in Egypt. The pyramid was a machine and it used an aether based physics similar to what Nick talks about in this book.
Towards the end of the book Nick talks about a very mysterious Canadian guy named John Hutchison. Hutchison was at one time able to repeatedly create strange anti gravity and alchemical effects in his laboratory. The problem was even he didn't know how it worked or what the "Hutchison Effect" was going to do. During one test the concrete floor started to catch on fire.
For whatever reasons the information in this book has not made it into the main stream yet. Perhaps this is just as well for now.
Nick did a lot of travelling and research for this book. He includes a lot of background information about Nazi Germany which is where quantum mechanics started.
There's a typo on page 271:
"A thousand kilowatts are a megawatt and a thousand megawatts are a gigawatt. A thousand terawatts, Markus told me, were a terawatt."
The mysterious "Dr. Dan Marckus" is one of the people in the book who was not identified by their real names.
I feel like I can sort of relate to or identify with the Dan Marckus character for some reason. Perhaps subconsiously I would like to become one of these mad scientist types like Nikola Tesla.

Summary of The Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World of Antigravity TechnologyThis riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers.
The atomic bomb was not the only project to occupy government scientists in the 1940s. Antigravity technology, originally spearheaded by scientists in Nazi Germany, was another high priority, one that still may be in effect today. Now for the first time, a reporter with an unprecedented access to key sources in the intelligence and military communities reveals suppressed evidence that tells the story of a quest for a discovery that could prove as powerful as the A-bomb.
The Hunt for Zero Point explores the scientific speculation that a "zero point" of gravity exists in the universe and can be replicated here on Earth. The pressure to be the first nation to harness gravity is immense, as it means having the ability to build military planes of unlimited speed and range, along with the most deadly weaponry the world has ever seen. The ideal shape for a gravity-defying vehicle happens to be a perfect disk, making antigravity tests a possible explanation for the numerous UFO sightings of the past 50 years.
Chronicling the origins of antigravity research in the world's most advanced research facility, which was operated by the Third Reich during World War II, The Hunt for Zero Point traces U.S. involvement in the project, beginning with the recruitment of former Nazi scientists after the war. Drawn from interviews with those involved with the research and who visited labs in Europe and the United States, The Hunt for Zero Point journeys to the heart of the twentieth century's most puzzling unexplained phenomena.
From the Hardcover edition. Imagine the power, economic and military, that would fall into the hands of the person who figured out how to bypass the ordinary laws of physics, defy gravity, and travel near the speed of light. Though it sometimes seems to fall in the realm of science fiction more than pure science, aviation-technology journalist Nick Cook's intriguing tale involves the long quest to develop antigravity vehicles and the sometimes eccentric characters who have played a part in it: Nazi rocket engineers, backyard inventors, NASA scientists, conspiracy theorists, and UFO watchers among them. The last group figures, Cook explains, because the ideal craft for "electrogravitic reaction" would take the form of a disc, a design consideration seen in the shape of current stealth aircraft. It could just be, the author suggests, that what witnesses have taken to be flying saucers might instead be antigravity-aircraft prototypes, though he cautions that "the subject is too complex ... to conform to a single explanation." And therein hangs a good part of this always interesting, if admittedly speculative, story, which, regardless of the truth of the matter (or, perhaps, antimatter), will appeal to techies and Trekkies alike. --Gregory McNamee
