The Exodus Effect — a real open question that does not touch gravity

His credentials are real and the work is unproven rather than debunked. But a thrust quoted in multiples of g is measured against gravity, and every helicopter and balloon overcome

The claim

“A NASA scientist built a drive that cancels gravity, so gravity is not what we were told.”

What is true

The credentials are real, the tests were careful, and this page does not claim Buhler is wrong.

What is measured

Grant the Exodus Effect everything it claims and you have a propulsion breakthrough of the first order. You do not have a flat Earth, and you do not have a world without gravity. A thrust quoted as a multiple of g is a measurement taken against gravity, and it presupposes the thing it is offered as evidence against.

What would show this is wrong

a careful measurement in which two ordinary, uncharged, isolated masses show no mutual attraction. A working propellantless drive would not supply this, because a thrust measured in multiples of g requires a g to measure it against.
