Sokol is highly energetic, often speaking like a human machine gun, yet surprisingly articulate. “I built the equipment to refurbish the batteries myself because the equipment didn’t exist,” he said. Undaunted, Sokol simply built his own tools, ultimately leading the then 23-year-old to start his own hybrid battery refurbishment business, a business he still owns and operates today. Unfortunately, with the hybrid market still new, the equipment to do the job wasn’t yet available. Nearly ten years before his first gravity experiments, Sokol purchased a used Toyota Prius, only to learn that the already aging battery pack would soon have to be rebuilt. (Image: Sokol) The Toyota Prius May Have Influenced the Creation of a ‘Warp Drive Detector?’ “I think where science really went wrong was when Einstein got his Nobel Prize for dreaming up theory, as opposed to experimental results.” Sokol told The Debrief, “ I think the scientists sort of got addicted to sitting at home and coloring on white boards.” As Sokol pushes himself and his company headfirst into developing a ‘Warp Drive Detector’ and the world’s first anti-gravity aircraft, it makes you wonder on what side of that line he dwells. The dividing lines between visionaries and madmen have historically proven to be thin.

Could the same thing be said of anti-gravity and the hunt to defy physical laws?Īlthough not expressly stated by Mark Sokol, the 33-year-old, wide-eyed, curly-haired founder of New Jersey-based Falcon Space, (in Slavic languages, Sokol means Falcon), Edison’s light bulb analogy could easily sum up his company’s hands-on, trial and error approach when it comes to their wide array of very ambitious planned experiments. One final component of this lab, found within the Discussion section, will be the demonstration of how the application of key concepts within physics can lead to the derivability of any number of equations, which is a very useful aspect of the study of physics.When asked about the numerous failures that preceded his invention of the light bulb, Thomas Edison once famously joked that he hadn’t failed over a hundred times but instead had simply found a hundred different ways how not to make a light bulb. The effects (if any) of mass on gravitational acceleration are tested by dropping a second sphere, different from the first, and measuring how long it takes to fall. Measuring how long it takes the sphere to fall, it is then possible to calculate gravitational acceleration. This all will be accomplished first by dropping a silver colored metallic sphere from several pre-established heights. The question of whether or not heavier objects fall faster will be answered yet again, determining if Galilco's experiments at the Leaning Tower of Pisa were right.

The main objective for this experiment is to calculate the acceleration 7g of a free falling object manifested due to the force of gravity In addition to this objective, this experiment will also determine if mass or the distance that an object falls influence the gravitational acceleration that object experiences. If one were to ask people the first name that pops into their mind when they hear the word "physics", most likely it will be Sir Isaac Newton and his allegorical apple falling from the tree), or Albert Einstein (whose theory of relativity modifies and extends Newton).

In fact, two of the most well koown names in physics found their fame in dealing with gravity. M9c: Free Fall Acceleration Introduction: Gravity represents one of the central concepts of physics.
