From an unbiased point of view, do you guys think Anti-Gravity research has potential to bear great results? What's the current status on it, if it's still relevant? It's quite the wondrous concept to fantasize about, but the sole fact that it goes against Einstein's words seems to have put it in a bad light since the 90.

None of it has be reproduced or if it has returned null results. It's currently a crank field and it'll stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Shame, anti-grav transportation sounds like such a promising prospect.

How so?
If you want to hold something a fixed distance off the ground and push it laterally with almost no friction, get a shopping cart.

I guess I'm just infatuated with the idea of having no friction at all, and the ability to regulate how much you can "repel" Earth's gravity without needing aerial transportation or standing on something that's ultimately in contact with the ground itself, eliminating the need to worry about the stability required for said ground to support you, essentially nullifying any need to worry about going over uneven surfaces and gaps with a floating shopping cart without getting it stuck and falling, for example.

Absolutely not. We have no theory of quantum gravity and our theories of classical gravity do not make anti-gravity very practical.
>> that it goes against Einstein's words
It does not. General relativity permits the construction of devices which create repulsive gravitational forces. They just require ultradense matter(which does not exist on earth) to be built at reasonable scales:

As Forward states in the above:
>>even the most optimistic calculations indicate that very large devices will be required to create usable gravitational forces. Antigravity, like space travel, will probably have no direct effect on the daily life of the average person. Future progress in the control of gravitation, like all modern sciences, will require special projects involving large sums of money, men, and energy
