If we posit that the graviton does exist and suspend all disbelief, is the rest of the patent logically sound? If the theoretical basis of this device is correct, would it actually do what it claims to?
- kordlessagain 6y agoGravity is the result of the bending of spacetime, but what about the monopole[1]? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3xH97Su-KY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3xH97Su-KY
- ksaj 6y agoThis is where "begs the question" comes into play. You have to prove gravity is the result of bending space time - something that does not yet have proof, and has a few counter theories to compete with - in order to bother thinking about monopoles in this context. It's worth keeping in mind that magnetism != gravitation as well.
- ksaj 6y agoIt's a pitched idea they are researching. If it is even close to what ends up being provable, and subsequently doable, then they also have some patented ideas of how to use what they've been researching. Even if they are a ways off the mark, they can prove prior art with the patent. And of course with each new discovery, they'll file a new patent until they have something that works. So, yes. The patent protects their research, as is the purpose of obtaining a patent.
