This "Hellene" on which he was to ride was about sixty-five feet in diameter and approximately three times that in length. The propulsion was, the builders and engineers acknowledged, not the ultimate by any means. They were still constantly experimenting and hoping for much swifter travel. Still, they did pretty well. They had some measure of anti-gravity to help lift the ship from a planet.
Inured as he thought he was to the tricks of Hyperspace, to acceleration and anti-gravity, the oscillation of that swinging seat, the weird swaying of the half-recumbent figure, did things to his sight and to his sense of balance which seemed perilous in the extreme.
Here were mounted two of the six machine-guns that comprised Nissr's heavier armament; and here, too, were hung a dozen of the wonderful life-preservers combination anti-gravity turbines and vacuum-belt, each containing a signal-light, a water-distiller and condensed foods that, invented by Brixton Hewes, soon after the close of the war, had done so much to make air-travel safe.
At the blue pole, the lightness-effect springs from the resistant medium through which we gaze, a medium under the influence of gravity, while the darkness is provided by the anti-gravity quality of cosmic space, which as a 'negative' resistance exercises a suction on the eye's inner light. At the yellow pole it is just the reverse.
But to leave now, just when we are on the verge of new discoveries That anti-gravity unit alone is worth our whole trip! Imagine being able to return to earth with the principle of that!" "Imagine being able to return to earth with our skins on our backs," was Soriki's whispered contribution.
A constricting band seemed to be clamped on his chest, while at the same time there was a curious feeling that he should weigh less but didn't. That was the peculiar sensation the combination of anti-gravity and the thrust of the rockers always gave.
We may have missed the boat in getting anti-gravity, if there is such a thing, but our artificial gravity is darned near foolproof. It was ten years since I'd moved in free fall, but Space Tech had done a good job of training good habits. I got out of my bunk, hit the corridor with a hand out, bounced, kicked, and dove toward the mess hall without a falter.
Let us remember that it was certain phenomena of life which first made us aware of the existence of a realm of forces with the attributes of anti-gravity, and that these forces revealed themselves first as creators of form.
