Episode Details

Was Amy Eskridge killed because of what she knew about antigravity? Host Matt Trump, a physicist, actually watched her lecture to find out. What he found was a talented, balanced science communicator who probably wasn't doing cutting-edge classified research, but whose story opens a fascinating window into decades of gravity modification experiments, disappeared researchers, and suppressed science. From the Mansfield Amendment to Ning Li's vanishing act to the Podkletnov effect, Matt walks through the serious and the speculative with equal parts rigor and curiosity. A tribute to a young woman who loved a strange subject, and a reminder that even in fringe science, the questions matter more than the answers.
