I thought it was probably nonsense but what did you think?
I thought it was about the prospect of anti gravity which I am sure can not work which I will not go into but my words near my avitar may give a hint.
But you raise a good point re funding but how you would prevent even a fund from having problems is beyond me.
Thanks for contributing.

Alex, the program reviewed past research projects on gravity propulsion and the reasons they failed to achieve much, such as the M-Drive. It was not nonsense to me, but presented in a non-judgemental way, relying on scientific method and repeatability. The aspect of potential role of anti-gravity, if it can be called that was touched on, in the sense that the universe expansion is actually speeding up - so why, if gravity should be slowing it down and reversing expansion? What is the role of dark energy in the mix? We don't understand the expansion factors well enough yet. If we can find the reason for expansion, it may be a key for controlling gravity. That is what i saw in it, perhaps others saw thing differently.
There are a seemingly endless supply of 'pop' science type documentaries, and i admit i watch most of them, but this one stood up reasonably well on a subject that sometimes is seen as fantasy.
And Barry, are you suggesting we just turn over the world to SkyNet AI now? I still have faith in humans to solve problems in ways AI and their logic based approach just can't. Creativity, visualisation, coming at a problem from a different perspective, humans still do this well.
