	Gravity Research Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Established in 1948 by businessman Roger Babson (also founder of Babson College), the Gravity Research Foundation was an organization designed to find ways to block or reduce the effect of gravity.
		The Foundation was established in several scattered buildings in the small town of New Boston, New Hampshire, which Babson chose because he thought it was far enough from big cities to survive a nuclear war.

		The once proud gravity monument, a campus curiosity since it was placed on the western side of the Physics Building in 1963, now rests in a storage building at the Briarcliff Campus beside bales of hay, old tires, and concrete saws.
		The pink marble, tombstone-like gravity monument, which stood for almost four decades beside the former Physics Building prior to being placed in storage four years ago, has been relocated to a courtyard next to the new Math and Science Center.
		The five-foot high monument was given to Emory in 1962 by the Gravity Research Foundation of New Hampshire, along with a $5,000 grant to the physics department.

		In the summers of 1949 and 1950, Bailey was director of research for the Gravity Research Foundation, which Babson established in August 1948.
		A Gravity Research Foundation pamphlet of uncertain date, copies of which are available at the New Boston Historical Society, says Babson and other foundations of the non-profit organization had considered opening a full-fledged laboratory in New Boston but eventually decided the foundation should "arouse interest and encourage others to carry on experiments in gravity research."
		A June 1963 newspaper marking that bicentennial talks about the foundation as if it were a going concern, featuring an undated photo of Babson, Rideout and Sikorsky, but Clark, who moved to town in late 1963, says the foundation never held any conferences or appeared to be open while she was there.

		The Gravity Research Foundation must be one of the more peculiar sub-phenomena of research enterprises.
		Even his somewhat official bio says "Roger maintained that a conductor could be built, along the same principles as a waterwheel, for harnessing gravity waves as they occur in nature.
		He hoped that the invention of a perpetual motion machine would solve the world's dependence on nonrenewable fuels." I think he had a chapter, or part of one, even in the first edition of Martin Gardner's Fads and Fallacies book.

	Gravity Monument returns to campus
		The Gravity Monument carries with it an interesting history and—while perhaps not “controversial”—is held in wildly varying degrees of esteem by University faculty, administrators and alumni.
		The Gravity Research Foundation was founded in 1948 by Roger Babson (also founder of Babson College, an undergradate and graduate-level business school just outside Boston).
		Rohrer’s bench will be moved to the Gravity Monument’s new location at the Math and Science Center, said DuVarney, who also plans to organize a “rededication ceremony” for both the bench and the monument, possibly during Alumni Weekend this fall.

		Eugene Podkletnov is a Russian materials scientist who claims to have discovered a gravity shield.
		Today, alas, Babson's foundation has been taken over by unserious people, men and women who do not appreciate the threat of "Gravity -- Our Enemy No. 1." The Foundation gives an annual prize; these days it is won by physicists like Stephen Hawking and George Smoot.
		These are serious physicists, but they do not burn with desire to protect people from the risks of gravity (Babson's obsession was born of personal tragedy; his sister drowned and his son died in a plane crash), much less see humanity reach the stars thanks to gravity shield technology.

		In this essay we marshal evidence suggesting that Einstein gravity may be an emergent phenomenon, one that is not ``fundamental'' but rather is an almost automatic low-energy long-distance consequence of a wide class of theories.
		Upon quantizing the linearized fluctuations around this background geometry, the one-loop effective action is guaranteed to contain a term proportional to the Einstein--Hilbert action of general relativity, suggesting that while classical physics is responsible for generating an ``effective geometry'', quantum physics can be argued to induce an ``effective dynamics''.
		This physical picture suggests that Einstein gravity is an emergent low-energy long-distance phenomenon that is insensitive to the details of the high-energy short-distance physics.
