i know of no reason for massive elements to not obey gravity. Why would a massive atom have antigravitational properties?

I think it’s crazy conspiracy stuff related to Bob Lazar’s famous (and famously crazy) statements regarding the supposed use of element 115 to power antigravity drives in flying saucers which he claims to have reverse-engineered at Area 51.

No further comment seems necessary.

I’m not familiar with anything related to Lazar (not big on the conspiracy scene), but I agree he isn’t credible. My question was in relation to research actually conducted in the academic community, not his Area 51 nonsense.

The running idea that was last being looked into was that superheavy elements have the potential to bend spacetime, similar to how planets do (but obviously on a much smaller scale).
