Dr. Ning Li and her anti-gravity research - further information

The work of Dr. Ning Li

https://www.berryhillfh.com/obituary/ning-li?lud=4CF765EE88E7526FCBA619C30101F7E6

Back in 2019, I wrote an article about the anti-gravity research of U. S. researcher, Dr. Ning Li, who subsequently passed away on 27 July 2021. Following the publication of that article, my interests moved on to other things. It was therefore, a pleasant surprise to recently receive an email from an individual named Kent Bye, who had undertaken his own research on the MITRE 2003 Gravitational Wave Conference, at which Dr. Ning Li presented a paper.

Kent Bye's findings

With Kent's kind permission, I would like to document his findings, in this blog post. Kent wrote:

I went down a rabbit hole tracking down information on the MITRE 2003 Gravitational Wave Conference after some UFOTwitter discussion about Ning Li. I recalled that Hal Puthoff answered a question about her and said he read all of her work at the SCU AAP conference in 2021, but that she went dark and nothing came from it. Hal said that he was there at the 2003 MITRE conference, and it looks like Eric W. Davis was there as well, and I had trouble finding information about it at first, but I was able to dig up some references. Dr. Hal Puthoff is asked about Ning Li in the Q&A of his 2021 SCU AAP Conference Keynote. 


Here is a transcript of what he said:

QUESTION: Did you ever get a chance to read, and if so do you have any thoughts on Ning Li's 1993 paper on "Gravitoelectric-electric coupling via superconductivity"?

ANSWER: Hal Puthoff: Well, I certainly read <em>all</em> of her papers. I also participated in the [2003] MITRE [Gravitational-Wave] Conference where she made a major presentation. And... [pause] Originally, I thought, you know, she may really be on to something. But the fact that it hasn't particularly gone anywhere, and some of the critiques that have been published from a scientific viewpoint I found kind of compelling. So it's definitely in the gray box on the shelf. Same with the Podkletnov results from Russia.

Hal mentions that he was at the Mitre Gravitational Wave Conference, which happened in 2003.

2003 conference

After I did my whole research that I'm about to pass along to you for you to digest and potentially pass along as a blog post, then I discovered your 2019 post on Ning Li, which is very, very comprehensive. However, your timeline is missing her 2003 paper, which Hal mentioned -- in part because the 2003 MITRE conference is somewhat obscure and hard to track down as the Conference Proceedings don't appear to have been publicly published by MITRE, although they may be available via FOIA.

So here's my reconstruction of the 2003 MITRE Gravity Wave conference from what I could find. Feel free to use it as you see fit and I'm happy to be attributed or not, and just want to make this information a bit easier for the UFO community to track down, and your blog posts seemed like a good outlet for that. 

Proceedings of the conference

A citation that I've found is the Proceedings of the Gravitational-Wave Conference, edited by P. Murad and R Baker, The MITRE Corporation, Mclean, Virginia, May 6-9, 2003, but a full copy does not appear anywhere online.

A best accounting of the ~25 papers presented there in 2003 [HFGW-03-101 to HFGW-03-125] can be pieced together from this reference: http://www.gravwave.com/pdf/HFGW%20References.pdf [and is shown down below]

Hal mentioned Ning's 2003 paper that she presented at MITRE, which was:
Ning Li (2003), “Measurability of AC gravity fields,” paper HFGW-03-106, Gravitational-Wave Conference, The MITRE Corporation, May 6-9.

Robert M. L. Baker Jr. 

Robert M. L. Baker Jr. was interviewed about the 2003 MITRE gathering, and this is what he had to say:

[QUESTION] Robert, I understand that there are literally dozens of physicists & engineers doing research on High Frequency Gravitational Waves, and the 2003 Mitre HFGW conference was a pivotal first event in terms of bringing them together as a community. Can you describe this for me a bit?

[ANSWER] The MITRE conference was a crucial first step in bringing scientists together to discuss HFGWs from both the perspectives of theoretical physicists and practical engineers and included scientists from all over the world.

Interestingly though, scientists from China who were not able to attend the event became some of the biggest proponents of HFGW research and use the MITRE papers as background for their research.

The community that took shape at the MITRE Conference later evolved into STAIF Section-F, and this was due entirely to the tireless efforts of Paul Murad and Tony Robertson. STAIF proved to be an excellent forum for the presentation and discussion of new concepts in gravitational science.

2008 MITRE report

I came across another 2008 report from MITRE on HFGW that's cited in the DIRD on "High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Communications"
https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/dia/AAWSAP-DIRDs/DIRD_21-DIRD_High-Frequency_Gravitational_Wave_Communications.pdf

Eardley, et al. (2008) "High Frequency Gravitational Waves," JSR-08-506, October, the JASON Defense Science Advisory Panel and prepared for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Document is at https://irp.fas.org/agency/dod/jason/gravwaves.pdf

Technical report from JASON, The MITRE Corporation concludes: "Previous analysis of the Li-Baker detector concept is incorrect by many orders of magnitude" -- That's a different Li. (Dr. Fangyu Li of Chongqing University, China.)

"The subject of High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW) has attracted considerable interest in the US government over the last few years. In September 2007, HFGW came to the attention of the National MASINT Committee of ODNI; in turn, staff at this committee asked JASON to review both the underlying science and technology of HFGW, and their implications for national security. JASON hosted briefings during June 17-18, 2008 from individuals both inside and outside the US government, and also collected about a thousand pages of printed or electronic material. This report gives our conclusions and supporting analyses, after having considered this input. Classified topics and conclusions are presented in the accompanying classified appendix."

Thank you to Kent for his hard work on the above, and for sharing this with the UAP research community. 

Update 4 June 2022

A 2 June 2022 tweet by Mik M @hlywdufo alerted me to a copy of a 36 page booklet titled "Gravitational-Wave Conference - International High-Frequency Gravity Wave Working Group - Authors and Speakers" for the May 6-9 2003 MITRE Corporation event. Included in the booklet was a bio of Ning Li and a synopsis of her paper.

Abstract

Measurability of AC Gravity Fields (paper HFGW-03-106) by Ning Li. † In the Lorentz gauge, the gravitational-generalized Lienard-Wiechart retarded potential shows that there are two types of gravitational fields. One is DC gravity, which is local and static such as the Earth’s gravity. Another is AC gravity, which is radiation and can transport far away without energy decay such as gravitational waves (GW). The possibility of generating and measuring an AC gravitational field is explored by calculation of the gravitational radiation fields excited by the induced nuclear angular dipole moments in a macroscopic quantum High-Tc superconductivity system. It is found that the effective AC gravity field at a Cu nucleus arising from the magnetic dipole effect is roughly 10-2 mGs. The practical application of the system for HFGW generation, detection, and application in the g - range is discussed.
